Posted this book for #SundayFunday and now can't get it out of my mind. It got me through 4th and 5th grade. Thanks, Ms. Blume. 🧡💜💛

I will always be indebted to Judy Blume for getting me through some rough patched in my childhood. Back in 1975, this 10-year-old girl was the ONLY student in her class whose parents were going through a divorce. She thought her life was over. Enter this book. No one was writing for kids my age about these kind of issues ... until Ms. Blume. She had the pulse of Gen X kids, and she saved a lot of us. 🧡💜💛

Finally read my first 2 Judy Blume books! I wish I read these when I was in grade school. I probably would have avoided much angst from dealing with bullies as well as being a late bloomer in the “Are you wearing a bra yet?” club. 🤦🏻♀️ Some of the conversations in Blubber were so realistic, they made me squirm. 😬All hail Judy for pushing the limits and writing books that all young girls need to read.🙌🏻

Glad to be back with Judy Bloom. The bullying was hard to read. My word. #ChildrensClassicRead2025 @TheBookHippie

A reread of a childhood favorite with #childrensclassicread2025
The story of Jill and her classmates still stands the test of time as it addresses bullying. I always say it but it was Blume who made me reader and through her books I learned so much.

I read this aloud to students k4-12.
In all different school setting types for - GASP - 30 plus years. The students say they love it because it‘s real life, nothing truly happens to bullies they generally move on to someone else or you get separated by having a different class or teacher. Or you just deal.

Finished this one earlier in the week, my second for August‘s #AuthorAMonth #JudyBlume. The library audiobook became free & so I listened to it & really enjoyed the reread. I must have read this book a bazillion times growing up & it all came back. Perfectly captures growing up in the late 70s-early 80s for me & all those things—bras, periods, boys & friendships & all the questions & angst they bring.
