Judy Blume (born Judith Sussman; 1938-02-12), is an American writer most famous for her books written for children and teens, although she has also written adult novels and non-fiction books.
I think the first Judy Blume book I ever read was Freckle Juice in elementary, and, throughout grade school, I read several more of her works. I also read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing with my mother and sister. When my daughters were born, I re-read several of her books to see which ones would be best for my girls.
I especially love that Blume doesn't talk down to her readers or write books without substance. She covers a multitude of topics that directly pertain to children, but many parents are afraid to discuss including lying, bullying, menstruation, eating disorders, divorce, racism, sex, and masturbation. Because of this, Blume's book are among the most challenged by Conservatives who want to "protect" their children.
