Kidlit Love: Conversations with Picture Book, Middle Grade and YA Authors

E108: Middle Grade Humor & Heart: Nat Enough with Maria Scrivan


Listen Later

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Maria Scriven about the 6th book in her Nat Enough series: Nat a Chance.

The Nat Enough series tackles the growing pains of girlhood and adolescence with humor and heart, encouraging readers to be their authentic selves. In Nat a Chance, Nat doesn't think she is an athlete… but could that just be a story she's telling herself? This book has so much for readers, both young and old. 

Come listen as we talk about the inspiration behind the series, how writing the series has helped Maria heal pieces of herself and the incredible gift for readers inside.
