This makes me so sad. My boys grew up with Robert Munsch stories (how many hundreds of hours we read THOSE books!). It's hard to believe such a talented children's author has accomplished everything he has with such struggles.

You've got to be kidding me - half the creative people out there seem to be wired to something or other.

Brave of him to come forward with this story.

Not gonna lie, this hardly surprises me. I've seen some videos of the guy and I always thought he was always a little too happy and energetic, at least in front on the cameras.

I still love his work and still have some of his books that I read as child. Here's hoping he gets through this.
