OTHERWISE KNOWN AS JUDY THE GREAT<\/h3>\n

Beloved and trailblazing author Judy Blume comes to life in this<\/span>\u00a0poetic picture book about her childhood.<\/span><\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nJudy Blume is known for fearlessly discussing topics that were once considered taboo. As a young girl, Judy was not encouraged to share her feelings, so instead she invented stories as a way to understand the world around her. Growing up Jewish, during and in the aftermath of WWII, dramatically shaped Judy\u2019s childhood. Her younger years were full of fear. Judy processed her conflicted emotions by making up stories where\u00a0she<\/span>\u00a0could control the conflict as she worked through challenging life scenarios. These stories became the subjects of the books she later published for children, tweens, teens, and adults\u00a0including\u00a0Are You There God? It\u2019s Me Margaret<\/span>,\u00a0Freckle Juice<\/span>, and the Fudge series. This inspiring collection of poems celebrates the childhood years of Judy Blume, one of the most beloved American writers of all time.<\/p><\/div>\n\n
