NPR: The Author and His Ink....

The Author and His Ink....

Filed under: Video

Writer Lord Byron famously wrote "a drop of ink may make a million think." If that's true, children's book author Phil Padwe will stimulate the minds of trillions. His new book is all about teaching kids not to freak out at the sight of tattooed adults. After speaking with Luke and Alison, Phil took a minute to show us his ink.

This video is a great complement to Lord Byron's interview in today's pilot. It gives BPP listeners a better image of this kids book writer. Of course, this is an example of when video can enhance a radio feature.
