Welcome to Beyond the Book, a podcast that explores the heart of children’s literature and the learning it inspires.

Hosted by self-published author and educator JoAnn M. Dickinson, this show invites parents, educators, and children’s book creators into meaningful conversations about storytelling, education, and the creative minds behind the pages.

Each week, JoAnn sits down with authors, illustrators, editors, and teachers to uncover how books support SEL, STEM, literacy, and real-world learning.
