Great podcast. Worth trying
This podcast is so interesting and me and my little sisters love it. They remember lots of the information about it so I know that they’re listening. I’m 15 and I am still interested. It’s great. Thx so much!!!

Represents a Vast Variety of People
This podcast educates children on the LGBTQ+ community. It is anti-discrimination and encourages kids to do something about the world they will grow up and live in. It’s empowering!

I love this
I try to learn about this stuff and when my parents try to explain it to me I sometimes don’t understand and this I always understand.

Propaganda
This is very one sided for children.

Very one-sided
This podcast seems to push a particular political narrative to kids without their parents knowing. They literally have an episode indoctrinating kids on the issue of abortion. As an attorney, I think this pod should put out an episode on the faulty legal reasoning behind Roe, if they’re going to discuss the issue of abortion at all in a kids pod.

Leftist Indoctrination
This podcast delivers Leftist propaganda wrapped in an easy-to-listen to, calming, and gentle blanket. It is not about “justice,” “equity,” and “inclusion,” as it purports to be; it’s pure ideology straight from the roots of a Marxist tree. It’s an attempt to “activize” kids into becoming little soldiers for the cause. It is not news anymore than the Pravda or Joseph Geobbels’ propaganda were news; it’s an outmoded playbook of washed-up ideas simply packaged in a new box. A wise and prudent parent should abstain from allowing their kids to listen to this. On a more redeeming note, the podcast is well orchestrated and easy to listen to. I’ll give it to the producer and host that it’s effective in achieving its ends. These ends, I just so happen to vehemently disagree with.

Great inspiration
This podcast is excellent companionship with a hot cup of coffee in my studio. I listen while working and it’s always comforting to hear from those (many are friends) behind the magic of creating picture books. Bravo Matthew!

Warm and insightful
I’ve listened to many many episodes as a parent, an author, a reader, and as a guest myself. I have enjoyed the warmth and curiosity with which the host, Matthew, brings out the best from his guest. And along the way, I’ve also learned so much about the creator’s inspiration, backstory, and process, about the storytelling and illustrations as well. But the best of all - Matthew’s sample read alouds - they always make me want to pick up the book right away! This is one of the most meaningful and enjoyable children’s literature podcasts!

The stories behind the stories
One of my favorite podcasts!!! I used to work in publishing as a designer, I can’t get enough of the stories behind the stories, from authors to illustrators and agents. Children’s picture books are little pieces of art, and hearing the inspiration behind each one is captivating...I always feel heartfully connected to a new perspective after each show.

A+ #KidLit Book Discussions
Matthew loves reading & books, his podcast is brimming with thoughtful books discussions with their creators. Besides getting a sneak peak into the books, he talks story, development with current #KidLit creatives.

Okay 😕
This podcast is not quite for kids I think because there is a little bit to much talking and the backround music is kind of annoying.

Listen, laugh, learn
Insightful, creative, and grounded in respect for both creators and young readers, this thoughtfully curated series is a constant delight.

Very good content
I love Matthew Winner’s sensitivity & deep, abiding love of children’s books. I love his enthusiasm for the books and authors he features. My one small complaint is that I wish he let guests talk more. While it’s very nice to hear his own, very heartfelt reactions to his guests’ work... as a listener, I really want to hear more of what THEY have to say.

Insightful look into the minds of the creators of your favorite children's books!
All the Wonders is wonderful and is a must listen if you're someone who is passionate about books for children. The stories, the process, the pull behind the curtain glimpse inside the minds of writers / illustrators / art directors / editors / you name it Matthew Winner and his team has got it. As an illustrator / writer myself it's that extra boost of modivation I need to get my brain and hand working together to get something on paper. I'm always eagerly awaiting the next episode to come out, you guys are doing an absolutely fantastic job for the kid lit community and want you to know I'm a huge fan and cheering you on!

I listen religiously and have been meaning to write a review for a while. A MUST-LISTEN for all newbies in kids' lit. Should be a requirement for all college and graduate illustration programs! I think I may have learned more about picture books here than in school... shhhh....
