"There are numerous renowned #Jewish #children’s and #YA #authors and #illustrators whose identity and affiliation with #Judaism is well-known and often crops up in their work or personal interviews: #MauriceSendak, #JudyBlume and #SydneyTaylor to name but a few. But #bibliophiles may not be aware that there are a number of other famed and talented #kidlit creators over the last few decades who are, in fact, also members of the Tribe. Here’s a list of notable children and #youngadult #authors you may not have known are Jewish!"

Beachy keen by day, carousel by night, and the Judy Blume rest stop!
Posing with my turtle sand sculpture! He’s awkward, but cute!
Hello little guy!
Judy Blume rest stop
The rest stops on the Garden State Parkway are named after prominent people who lived in New Jersey. Yesterday was the first time we visited the Judy Blume one. Earlier this year I was on a Judy Blume kick, re-reading her books I loved as a kid. I was ecstatic to be here. Back in March I covered a book talk by Mark Oppenheimer at Word Bookstore in Maplewood. He penned a bio on Judy Blume called “A Life.” You can read more here: https://essexnewsdaily.com/arts/author-of-judy-blume-book-gives-talk-at-bookstore-in-maplewood/
Judy Blume was known for her realism in writing for young adults. And as a young adult in the 1970s, and as much as I loved her books, I must say I also loved horror books like “Carrie” and science fiction like “Planet of the Apes” (the book takes place in France, unlike the USA as the movie does) and “Planet of the Blind” and many comic books.
Blume’s books were controversial at the time, talking to kids about hard-ons and menstruation. But these were the things we wanted to hear. Some things just couldn’t be discussed with parents. My mom told me about menstruation two years before I got my period. Like “Margaret” in Blume’s book, “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret?” I couldn’t wait! It meant I was growing up.
As for hard-ons, I remember asking my mom, “What does it mean when a guy’s dick goes up?”
Her answer, “That’s called a hard on. Stay away from him and don’t let him touch your titties.”
See what I mean? Ask a grown up a simple question and that’s the answer you get. Judy Blume gave kids answers via her fictional stories.
Judy Blume = a Jersey girl!
A beautiful restored carousel, in the Carousel Museum in Seaside Heights
This is something to be seen! Even the tickets were everything. I’d say this carousel is the heart and soul of Seaside Heights.
I found this fascinating blog about it: https://visitingamuseum.com/2024/07/23/seaside-heights-historical-society-1400-boardwalk-seaside-heights-nj-08751/
62 and a half, and still a kid!
My husband horsing around!
And now for a self-care week ahead — therapy, acupuncture, a much needed haircut, and regular dental cleaning so I can keep smiling.

I'm wondering what the origin is of that hoax with #JDVance masturbating with his couch. It wasn't in #HillbillyElegy, could someone have written it with a LLM? They generally don't enjoy writing about sex because they're programmed with filters, so I'm doubtful. Maybe it was stolen from a YA book by #JudyBlume (not knocking her, I love her, but that's something she's occasionally written about in YA). Or probably some dumb horny male wrote it. I'd just like to know the origins if we can. Haha.

When I was in grade seven, I went to the public library to sign out a copy of “Forever” by Judy Blume. I liked her other books, and I wanted to read this one because it had dirty parts (ie sexy scenes). But when I took it to the counter, the librarian cautioned me. She said I could sign it out, but it was more grownup than the other Blume books.
This scared me off signing it out because I was afraid that since the librarian knew it was a dirty book, she would tell my parents and then I’d get in trouble.
I still haven’t read it. #JudyBlume #YA #SelfCensorship #censorship #bookstodon

I learnt more about periods in ‘Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret’ than my Mum ever told me. I found that masturbation was normal in ‘Deenie’. ‘Forever’ was passed around my whole class because they actually ‘did it’ in that book. But for me, there was still something missing, another piece that I was searching for.

Anyone remember the novel #Superfudge, by #JudyBlume? Yes, I'm dating myself, but I just started reading it with my son. And amazingly, even though there are no pictures at all, he seems to be enjoying it! So much so, that he actually asked me to read another chapter rather than have me stop so he could watch TV.

‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’: Read The Screenplay That (Finally) Got Judy Blume On The Big Screen

Think I'll finally read "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret", which was my sister's favourite book when we were kids.
A film adaptation was released earlier this year and I love coming-of-age stories (and chick flicks).
