Meet award-winning writer Walter Dean Myers, author of over 100 books for young people. Hear how a high school drop-out overcame the odds to write best-selling books such as Monster, Sunrise Over Fallujah, Harlem and Lockdown.

Myers' message about literacy is shaped by his own experiences as an African-American man who dropped out of high school but built a successful writing career, largely because of his lifelong devotion to books.
