I’m back with another bonus episode of the KidLit Love podcast!
I try not to clog your Inbox with more episodes than you can listen to, but I could resist jumping at the chance to talk with Meredith Walker. She’s the co-founder of Smart Girls with Amy Poehler and has just released a book I think everyone needs to read: BE YOURSELF AND OTHER AND OTHER BAD ADVICE. It may be written for teens, but I think it’s a book for everyone, no matter what age.
Happy listening!
E222: BE YOURSELF AND OTHER BAD ADVICE with Meredith Walker
On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Meredith Walker about her new book for teens: BE YOURSELF AND OTHER BAD ADVICE.
In this book, readers learn not just how to be themselves, but how to find their authentic selves. Through personal anecdotes, journaling prompts, and big-sisterly advice, Meredith gives readers the tools to find themselves. This might be written for teens, but I’d argue it’s a book we all need.
Come listen as we talk about the Smart Girls foundation Meredith founded with Amy Poehler, the varied chapter titles that invite readers to think for themselves and her hopes that all readers will not only find themselves more interesting, but will enjoy the process of who they are becoming, too.
Here is the book featured in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
