Shapiro collaborated with The Rolling Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards on a children's book called Gus & Me, which was published in 2014,[11][12] and reached No.2 on The New York Times Best Seller list for children's books.[13] His previous book, Other People’s Love Letters, was published in 2007.[14][15]
