“Katie
I am a few years younger than you, and I did not read Judy’s books either. I have 3 daughters. Need to ask them if they did. So glad she is getting much deserved recognition & that her book is being made into a movie. I did not catch the name of the documentary, but will search for it.
Like you, I was terrified of getting my period after being shown a film in the school auditorium in 5th grade. So silly really, bc I did not start my period till the summer I turned 14, or maybe 15? I was so grateful it was summer. I remember where I was & what I was wearing (cut off jean shorts). Thankfully it began with light spotting. My mother just quietly showed me how to wrap my sanitary napkin in toilet paper & dispose of it in the waste basket. She was an older Mom & in hindsight, as much as I hated the school film, it was probably much needed.
I am so opposed to banning books. The only time I interfered at my local library, was when my daughter checked out a picture book on Brazil for a school report. My husband is Brazilian & my daughters are all dual citizens. The book mentioned wife battery. I am not saying this does not happen in Brazil, or anywhere else for that matter, but it was inappropriate subject matter for her very young age. I brought it to the children’s librarian’s attention and asked that it be removed from the shelf. I did not follow up.
So grateful to live in this free country. I am a huge fan of my local library. I am in there almost daily some days!
Grateful for Judy Blume. I need to read Summer Sisters.
And grateful for you Katie! You are woke!!!!!!”

“It's nice to see she hasn't changed her tone when it comes to covering current affairs with half truths and missing information. Typical coverage from a overly slanted view point. Most should pass on this rubbish. It's not worth the lost time you'll smack your head on a wall...”Read full review »
