Toni Morrison
Novelist Toni Morrison has won the Nobel Prize and the Pulitzer, and sold millions of copies of her books such as Beloved, Paradise, and Song of Solomon. Recently, she began writing books for children and has just completed six traditional fables she adapted with her son Slade. Morrison says she didn’t read many kids books herself when she was young. Produced by Peter Clowney and Leital Molad.
