First Book was delighted to be joined recently by Peter Reynolds, the author and illustrator of such award-winning books as The Dot and Ish. His latest work, which just published this September, is entitled So Few of Me. Peter is also the illustrator of the wildly popular Judy Moody series, authored by Megan McDonald and also published by Candlewick Press.

In our interview with Peter, he spoke about his journey as an artist, gave some great ideas of how to encourage children to be creative and shared some of his favorite books from childhood.
