In this special Foreword mini-episode we sit down with IRW Director of School Programs Alison Johnson and Steve Costanza, author & illustrator of The King of Ragtime, at the Henry D. Moore Library in Steuben, ME.

Steve & Alison reflect on their 5-school tour of Washington County and share with us what it's like to be back in-person at school assemblies, their most memorable moments with students, and their experience traveling hundreds of miles along the Maine coast with a piano.
