  Authors Have Birthdays Too!


Happy Birthday Judy Blume!

Judy Sussman, or Judy Blume, was born on February 12, 1938. She is an American author who has written many novels for children and young adults, which have exceeded sales of 80 million and been translated into 31 languages.Blume has won more than ninety literary awards.
Blume's novels for children and teenagers were among the first to tackle such controversial matters as racism, menstruation, divorce, bullying, and teen sex. These novels have been the source of controversy over the appropriateness of such topics for her middle school audience, as well as censorship.
Blume is also an advocate for teachers reading aloud to their students. She believes that if teachers would take the time to introduce good books to students, perhaps there would not be as many reluctant readers.
