Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he moved to Canada in 1975 to work at the University of Guelph. His unique storytelling style comes from interactively developing stories with children, taking events from their lives and experience and greatly exaggerating them into the realm of the ridiculous and sometimes fantastical. He has received a Juno Award, induction into the Order of Canada, a star in Canada's Walk of Fame, and has two public schools in Ontario named after him. His books have sold millions of copies, and he has the dubious honour of being the most stolen author in the Toronto Public Library system. ## Quotes by Robert Munsch > [Most of my books came from when I was telling stories.](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/robert-munsch/most-of-my-books-came-from-when-i-was-telling-stories/) [Robert Munsch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/robert-munsch/) [Book](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book/) [Image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b0f/robert-munsch-33207_book_most-of-my-books-came-from-when-i-was-te_2881975.jpg) > [Success is a wonderful addition to my life.](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/robert-munsch/success-is-a-wonderful-addition-to-my-life/) [Robert Munsch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/robert-munsch/) [Life](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/life/) [Image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/023/robert-munsch-33207_life_success-is-a-wonderful-addition-to-my-li_3155261.jpg) > [“Fake things can't really happen.”](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/robert-munsch/fake-things-can-t-really-happen/) [Robert Munsch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/robert-munsch/) [Image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/63c/robert-munsch-33207_fake_fake-things-can-t-really-happen-4285_4285.jpg) > [If you don't remember childhood and you idealize it, you can't write books for kids because they're not real.
