Welcome back to Season 2 of the Foreword podcast: Reading Outside the Box, where we ask our listeners to think about who, what, where and how they read—and implore them to explore the wide and wonderful world of children's literature!

Episode 1 is an interview with David Wiesner, who talks about becoming an illustrator, his love of story, how to read a wordless picture book, and reminds us that picture books are for everyone.
