If you’ve been a kid or raised a kid in, oh, the last four decades, you’ve no doubt heard Barry Louis Polisar. He’s been writing and performing children’s songs, like “Don’t Stick Your Finger in Your Nose” for generations of youngsters.
In 2007, thirty years after he wrote it, his song, “All I Want Is You,” was featured in the opening credits of the film “Juno," which raised Polisar’s profile. Polisar has also written dozens of children’s books.
And now he’s written a book for adults, a thoughtful reflection on the first book of the Bible, Genesis. Barry Louis Polisar joins Sheilah to talk about it.
