A proposito di questo titolo
Judy Blume is known for fearlessly discussing topics that were once considered taboo. 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 she 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 Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret, Freckle Juice, 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.

"Each poem here isolates a single moment or theme, with huge variety in form and length—there is rhyme, free verse, acrostic, and even a smattering of first-person poems...The acrylic and collage illustrations are the real star here, and the precisely layered full-page spreads in vibrant pastel colors and textures defy two-dimensionality. The scrapbook-like quality of the layout gracefully mirrors the poems themselves, marrying moments of Bloom’s youth with Alko’s own love of the author in a work of art that will enchant Bloom fans young and old."—BCCB

There are millions who would relate."—Booklist
