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's childhood. Her younger years were full of fear. Judy processed her conflicted emotions by making up stories where \u003ci\u003eshe\u003c\/i\u003e could 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 including \u003ci\u003eAre You There God? It's Me Margaret\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFreckle Juice\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Selina Alko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Christy Ottaviano Books-Little Brown and Hach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.12h x 9.32w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316570633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/31\/2025 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2026 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSelina Alko\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning author-illustrator of many books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eI Is for Immigrants\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eB Is for Brooklyn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDaddy Christmas \u0026amp; Hanukkah Mama\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Case for Loving: The Fight for Interracial Marria\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ege\u003c\/i\u003e -- illustrated by Sean Qualls.
