Dear Ms. Blume,

As a young woman, I read your books and your words helped me understand who I was emotionally, mentally, and physically.
As an adult, they still guide me.
Thank you for your generous gift of sharing them.
PS- I'm still waiting for the Freckle Juice recipe to work šŸ™‚

Hello, Ms. Blume,
While in elementary school, I used to write letters to God. Then one day, I visited the school library and ran across your book, Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret. I am forever grateful that I did. I was not the only one writing letters to God, even if it was a character in a book. Your book made my already spiritual relationship with our Lord and Savior complete. I want you to know what it means to me and others for you to have written this book and now a soon-to-be movie. I am so glad I'm here to witness this in my lifetime.

Thank you,

A reader of your book.

Hi Judy,

I only read a handful of your books in the early 80s, but I love you so much.

You fostered in me a lifelong love of books and stories, a gift I could never hope to repay.

Also, 40 years later, I still say to myself, "oooh dark,"when the lights go down at the movies.

Thank you so much for all you have done.

Hi Judy!!!

I am the Youth Services Librarian at the Park City Library, in Utah. I’m Librarian in duty this weekend during the Sundance Film Festival, where your documentary is screening! If you happen to be so inclined, we’d love to invite you to stop by our beautiful library. I’m hoping to catch the movie next weekend. Looking forward to watching it. šŸ’š

Hello Mrs Blume I just wanted to write you a little thank you note. I am currently reading ā€˜Are you there god it’s me Margaret’ with my 11 year daughter. I originally read the book 30 years ago and was desperate for my daughter to read it too. It has brought us hours of laughter and identification. The subjects are as relevant today as when they were first written. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Best wishes

Hi Judy!
We love you! We are fourth graders at Golden Poppy Elementary School in Palmdale, California. Our teacher Mrs. Gann has been reading your books for over 35 years and is currently finishing the Fudge series with us. Congratulations on your upcoming movie...finally!!! We were wondering if you ever do Zoom sessions with classes? Our teacher is also taking your Masters Class so she can hopefully someday write books like you too. Just in case you didn't know...we are your #1 fans. We requested the Fudge series for our school library and got two sets!!
Thanks for all the laughs!!!

Ms.Blume, I am taking a course in college that requires me to reach out to one of my favorite authors and I should detail the experience, so I picked you because I was a lonely, depressed child and your books helped me understand some of what I was going through because talking about anything to do with being a young female was almost shameful at my house. I loved your stories, and still do. Thanks for taking the time to read my jibberish. Sincerely, S.Colbur(Class of 87)

Hello Ms. Blume,

I am a Vice Principal at William F. Halloran School 22 in Elizabeth, NJ. We are one of the two gifted and talented schools in the district. I grew up in an era where I read your books over and over. With the release of your movie, I would like to request that you come to speak to our middle school girls about your classic book Are you there God, it’s me, Margaret? I think this would be a very valuable opportunity for our middle school females to meet you and ask questions about your writing of this book. I look forward to your positive reply.

Sincerely,
Linda Trebino

Hello Mrs Blume, I started reading your novels when I was nine years of age back in the seventies at Sunny Brae Elementary. I have nieces and cousins who adore your books. Thank you

I've been reading your books since I was in kindergarten. Mom would read some to me while I helped. I'm 52. I can't wait to see the movie. I practice that move and phrase over and over. Thank you for making me happy and many others

Dear Mrs. Blume,
I love your books. I especially liked the two books about Stephanie, Rachel, and Alison. I was so sad when the two books ended. I really hope that maybe you can write another book about them, from Alison's point of view. But I do understand if you cannot. You are a wonderful author. I actually write stories, too, and I hope to be an author one day. Also, happy early birthday! Best of luck if you are still writing!
(P.S.I would love, love, love it if you could respond to me...)

Dear Judy Blume,
Decades belated, I want to thank you. For your characters, for your stories, for the lessons you gave, for the hours of enjoyment your books gave me me as a reader. I’ve read them all - as a preteen, teen, young adult and grown woman. And although many scenes have stayed with me, my favorite is from blubber. The mom running around getting dressed for work and dealing with pantyhose with runs and pants at the dry cleaner. I remember that scene often in my life today.

Thank you!
Amy Clark healey.

My book group of 50 year old women grew up reading your books. Are excited for your Are you there god it's me Margaret? Movie. Might even do that book as our April read....ever thought of a book on the menopausal time of life? We would all read! Thank you for all you have done to help us grow to the strong women we are today!xxoošŸ“šā¤ļø

Hi Judy, I met you at your home on Martha’s Vineyard in 1998 when I was 13 and helping my aunt Vilma clean houses. We had moved from Brazil to the Vineyard in 1995 and I quickly learned English and fell in love with your books, it felt like the only girls I could relate to was the characters in your books, you were a lifesaver! We couldn’t afford to buy the books so I would spend hours at the Vineyard Haven library or Bunch of Grapes growing up. Imagine my dearest teen heart when I started connecting the dots as we cleaned your beautiful home and the I asked my aunt if the home owners name was Judy, she said yes, I cried. You were so kind, you took a picture with me, signed and gave me multiple books (I still have them!) I’m so thankful for that day. It really impacted me in a way I can’t explain, thank you so much. I haven’t written in a long time, but perhaps it’s not too late to start again. Your biggest fan, always and forever, Viviane.

I wanted to send a shout out Ms Blume for your book Deenie. I was 13 years old and read this book with enthusiasm and learned so much ! Specifically about scoliosis. Unbeknownst to me I myself had it . I too was a curvy girl !! After reading this extraordinary book I talked to my mother who looked carefully at my back and realized that something wasn’t right. We visited our GP and then went to Sick children’s hospital where I had surgery and rods put along my spine . A 10 hour procedure, 6 months in a body cast and 3 months with a body brace. All as a budding teen . I would like to thank you Judy for this book and leading me to a life changing procedure. I am forever grateful for the information you wrote. I am now 60 years old and forever have the memory of reading , learning and discovering through the visions you imagined .
If at all possible could I have an autographed copy of Deenie? It would mean so much to me .

Forever Grateful : Laurie Antonio

I wanted to tell you how you came into my life. In 1977, my family experienced a tragedy. My brother who was 12 had a major heart attack and died. I was 11, and it was my birthday. I have a vivid memory of that day. A friend’s mother came to pay her respects. She handed me a gift bag. It contained several of your books including ā€œAre You There God It’s Me Margaret?ā€ I couldn’t put it down! Fast forward to now.. I am a second grade teacher and have been teaching for 33 years. I read your books every day to my students. In fact, you could hear s pin drop when I do! They especially love Fudgie! I read his part in a funny voice and they can’t get enough of it! When your books came to our Scholastic Book Fair, they raced to buy them all! So…. I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You instilled a love for reading when my world was so very dark. I am so excited to see this wonderful book become a movie. It opens on my dad’s birthday. He passed several years ago so that date makes it all the more special. I don’t know if you will actually see this but you helped me during an unthinkable moment. Your books let me escape from the harsh reality that I was in at the time. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough to tell you how I feel about you and your work. Sincerely, Susan Mattucci

Dear Judy,
I have thought about writing to you for many years. Your books have helped millions of kids not only fall in love with reading but navigate this crazy world we live in.

For me Judy Blume means so much more. 1969-1970’s ish Shackamaxon Country Club Scotch Plains New Jersey ! You Judy Blume were the first women I ever met that had a career I may have been 12 when I had my first conversation with you at the pool ! You changed everything for me that first day. I can be and do anything I want. I knew I didn’t want my Mother’s role (a stay at home Mom)
My parents Joan and Mickey Pine were wonderful parents, and they supported me throughout. Whether you remember my parents or not
Is unimportant I just wanted you to know your influence goes beyond your written words and the impact you have made on so many sometimes goes unrecognized. Sincerely, Jeryl Pine. (Now my 13 year old granddaughter is a Judy Blume fan ) Amazing !

When my daughter was young, I bought her the book ā€œAre you there God? it’s me Margaret. She read it over and over. Now she has a daughter (5 months old) and I would like to give her the same book. Is there a way I can purchase a signed book for my new granddaughter? My daughter is a 6th grade teacher in an Appalachian school and deals with some of the same issues with her students and she references your book. Thank you for writing such a wonderful book.
Kindra from Arvada, CO wrote on January 12, 2023
I watched the trailer for ā€œAre You There God, It’s Me Margaretā€ this morning. I cried. I remember reading it in the 70s and how important it was to me at that time. I’m coming upon my 60th birthday, reminiscing about my life… I wonder, what would Margaret be praying at this point? …after a big part of that life has been lived, kids have grown and new things on the horizon?
Most of all, thank you for writing it. I can’t wait to watch it on the big screen.
