Martin recently released his children's book "Santiago the Dreamer in Land Among the Stars". Check out an animated version of its summary below:
In an interview with Rachel Martin of NPR.org, Martin says how much part his children played in bringing together the book:
"They were part of it. I became a dad and all of the sudden this amazing amount of information that I started receiving from kids was, I didn't know what to do with it."
"So, I just started writing, you know, stories, and it's beautiful, 'cause kids, they brought me back to my childhood and I started remembering what it was like when I started in the music business. And that's what the story is about. It's about a child who auditions for his play at school and he was rejected. And the relationship that he has with his father is exactly like the relationship I had with my father," he added.
