Author Profile - Fiction

I have read Judy Blume since I was in elementary school. She had a special way of writing all the adventures of childhood. I find it amusing that I now read some of her books to my children. Earlier today we went to the library and my children and I checked out The One in the Middle is a Green Kangaroo. I know this exercise is supposed to reveal new authors, but it hard to forget the ones that tugged at our hearts when we learning to read.

Also, when we are young, we only look at the books. We don't, or, at least, I didn't look at who the authors where as people. After further reviewing, "Judy on the Web," I really like the personality of this author. She has a subsection on her page that gives her perception of censorship, on writing, and even an area that is for kids.
