Hi Judy, I am watching Judy Blume forever. What a gift you gave to millions of girls. I only wish I had access to your books growing up. I would have know what “ normal” girls were like during their blooming years I was abused through those precious years by a man. A relative. I can only think I would have gained courage in knowing what feelings other girls had. I am quite sure you have helped other girls in my situation. God bless you.

Hello Mrs. Blume, I am a teacher and my student in grade 4 just read Tales of a Forth Grade Nothing. As part of her final writing project she chose to write you a letter.
Dear Judy Blume,
I liked your book because it was so funny. I see how much work you put into this book. Peter is like me, but my brother has autism and ADHD. When he was six he lost his two front teeth like Fudge did, and I cut my own hair like Fudge did. I am turning ten soon and I wish to see you in real life. From, *Elizabeth
PS: I’m ten now hehe
thank you for all that you do and all the laughter that you infuse into your books. Have a wonderful day

Dear Judy Blume,
I LOVED the Sheila the Great book. I could relate to Sheila because I also get frustrated at times. Shelia's best friend, Mouse, kept her under control, just like how my best friend, Babe, keeps me under control. I read another one of your books, The One in the Middle is a Green Kangaroo, that I could also relate to. I liked how the teacher kept the kids under control like my teacher does. You are a great author!
Sincerely, Kenley Jane

Hello Judy, I've been a fan for years! It began at age 10 with "Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great". Judy i loved this book, still do...I'm 54 now! While I love many genres I still revert back to this particular book when feeling nostalgic. It always, without fail, brings the humor, joy and warmth into my heart that it always has. I'm always on the lookout for a first edition. I have one and 3 reprints just receiving the Yearling box collection of Sheila, Fudge, Blubber, Margaret and Tony. Thank you Judy, thank you for being part of the dearest childhood memories I hold close to my heart.

I was recently on my way back from vacation and watched your documentary on the plane. I thought to myself, I must have been living under a rock. Not to have read one of your books. I sat and pondered why don’t I know whom this person is? Then it hit me, As a young girl, I wasn’t allowed to read books or given the opportunity unless it was school related. I was work mule of six kids. There were simply to many chores to read. While watching the documentary I laughed, & cried, and I became very angry all at once. My husband looked over at me & asked ; are you ok? I replied yes as I wiped the tears from my face,not realizing I still had my Bluetooth headphones in ;I yelled out! we have to go to key west I’ve got to meet JUDY BLUME . My husband pointed at my Bluetooth & gave me the she’s 🤫 symbol. I scanned the plane of all the other passengers & wandered what their childhood was like. When I returned home I began to ask others if they read your books as a young adult they replied , well of course I did. How can you not know who Judy BLUME? Is? So I’ve made it my mission in life to visit your bookstore and purchase every book you’ve written,with hopes of meeting you in your bookstore in February 2024. I know actually getting an autograph is far fetched. Nevertheless that my goal in life. MY PRAYER is that you are doing well and I get to meet you. Nurse from TENNESSEE

We are reading Freckle Juice and it is so good so far. We would like to know if you have freckles. What made you write about freckles? We love your books. Please write us back.

Hello Judy,

I find your work to be very inspiring. I am also a children’s book writer and I had many of my stories published last year. You can look me up on Simon Sien Kang on Amazon and Audible.

Stopping by to let you know that I brought my daughter into the fold with “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret”, and I personally just finished “Summer Sisters”.
What is astounding is you have captured every single stage of my life. As a young girl, and now as a mother myself, to be thinking of your work that touched and affected me as a young girl, and frankly, triggering (in a good and profound way) as an adult with “Summer Sisters” you have reached into my soul and stirred up so many memories this year. My Summer Sister ending was nearly the same as your book. Something I’ve been attempting to process for almost 30 years.
Thank you for your insight and ability to continue to hit just the right nerve. Always hold a special place for you,
Emily

Hi Judy, I am nearly 40 years old and the earliest memory I have of feeling that someone Truly understood me is when I was about 6 years old and I picked out The Pain and the Great One at a garage sale. I thought "OMG this is ME!" I was the big sister with the younger brother and to this day I look over the book and my scribbles I had drawn on the inside cover and I still feel the same, even through all these years gone by, even as I became the age of the sister in the illustrations and then older... The thing is is that You GOT me and the natural frustration of having a sibling. I am so grateful for you and the writing you have gifted us all. Much love always

I must have been sheltered when I grew up in in Sandy, Utah. Which is a suburb of Salt Lake City. I have never heard of your books. I read a lot in my childhood which has continued into my adulthood. Now as a mother I am always looking for good reads for my kids. I came across a documentary about Judy Blume on an American flight. I had no idea who she was and watched it. I was absolutely excited to hear about her. I sure wish I had her books when I was a pre-teen / teen. I am pre reading them for my 11 year old daughter and I think she would actually like to read these if she ever Catches the reading bug. Thank you for writing these books.

I want to thank you for making up for my childhood! I still remember the days when I would visit the local library - also the only library in town - to see if there were any more of the fudge series. Recently I found this site and wanted to express gratitude for the beautiful memories.

I just finished watching the documentary about you on Amazon Prime. I had to come and find your website with the hope I could write you a little message. I was never interested in reading as a child. I knew the power that reading had on someone due to my mother. When I entered middle school, something called AR was introduced to me. It was presented as a competition for a prize to whomever got the most points. In 5th grade is where I discovered you!!!! I read everything in the school library you written. Tiger Eyes changed me and Blubber was me! In high school I read Summer Sisters my favorite book of all time! Thank you, for writing for us girls!

Dear judy, I haven't read all your books, but most of them. Mennonite community didn't allow it. I was born in 1980 and I have been so thankful for all of your writing about menstruation, development, masturbation, sex and the loss of your father. I just lost my father and it was devastating. Now with the world again burning books, removing them from schools, libraries, abortion, gender, taking away a woman's right to choose or any person's right to identify as they do, love who they love. My heart hurts! But to see love has survived this sensorship once and survive gives me hope. Your documentary sustains me. Thank you! Keep up the good work! Love, Dee

Dear Mrs. Blume,
I just turned 10 years old and visited New York City for my birthday. When I played at the Ancient Playground it made me think of Fudge and Peter. I still laugh thinking about Fudge pretending to be a bird.
I have read every book in the series and really want to know what happened to Peter and Fudge when they grew up. Did Fudge ever become a bird? Ha! Is Peter still best friends with Jimmy? Did Sheila ever learn how to use a yo-yo? Is there now a Fudge, Jr.?
Thank you for creating all of those fun characters! I hope you see this and will think about writing another series about the Hatcher Family.
Love,
Beau (A current 4th Grade Something)

Hi. We just finished reading "Frecekle Juice" in class. My second grade students LOVED the book. We laughed when Andrew Marcus turned green after drinking the recipe. Sharon was funny because she licked her teeth. Miss Kelly gave Andrew the secret freackle remover formula, she was very kind to do that. Thank you!

I loved your books as a kid when is your next one coming out?
Madyson Reynolds from Birmingham wrote on December 9, 2023
Dear Judy,
Thank you so much for sharing your books with us. I'm 28 years old, and I remember reading the Fudge series and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing for the first time in elementary school. They still remain on my bookshelf to this day. The voices of your characters drew me in immediately as a child, and your radically honest storytelling has always been so refreshing. I recently watched your documentary on Amazon Prime, and have since grown to love you even more. I hope to visit your bookstore in Key West someday!
Much love,
Madyson

Hi Judy!
I’ve been meaning to write to you for a while now to thank you for all of your wonderful books. I love reading and it is because of you and your awesome writing style and relatable books and my dad who took me to the library often when I was a child. Some of my favorites are Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Superfudge, and Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret. What a gift your books have been to me and to many others. Thank you so much, I can’t begin to describe what a positive impact you have made on my life.

Hi Judy
I loved your documentary and also love Are You There...
I hope you will write the book about how you left your first husband and found yourself. I think that would be an amazing story.
Thanks for being bold.
