Ed Emberley, "Better You Than Me," at the Akron Art Museum

A new exhibition at the Akron Art Museum celebrates a man who taught generations how to draw. Ed Emberley wrote and illustrated several renowned children’s books including “Suppose You Met a Witch” and “The Wing on a Flea.” ideastream's Jean-Marie Papoi sat down with Emberley at the museum to hear what spurred his career and why he feels a sense of duty to teach through his books.
