We’ve got a real treat for you today — an interview with the fantastic and talented Maren Morris.

Morris has a new children’s book out, co-written with her best friend, former teacher Karina Argrow. Our own Julie Sprankles recently got a chance to chat with the pair about the book — Addie Ant Goes on an Adventure — and they also talked about co-parenting, leaving (or not leaving) country music, the backlash that Morris has faced for speaking out about transphobia, and — yes — Cowboy Carter. Definitely give it a read.
