I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
Judy Blume
If all you leave in the library is books that you think speak to everyone, what are you going to have? You'd have nothing.
Judy Blume
Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read Summer Sisters, I'm hoping that they'll read this.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.
Judy Blume
It's not so much that I like him as a person God, but as a boy he's very handsome.

We are friends for life. When we’re together the years fall away. Isn’t that what matters? To have someone who can remember with you? To have someone who remembers how far you’ve come?

Judy Blume
I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
Judy Blume
Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong.
Judy Blume
I wanted to write honest books for kids because I didn't have those when I was a kid.
Judy Blume
I stop and think before I start a new book and ask myself do I really want to spend the next year or two or three with these characters because if I don't, then I shouldn't be writing about them.
Judy Blume
When I'm writing a book, you can't think about your audience. You're going to be in big trouble if you think about it. You're got to write from deep inside.
Judy Blume
I love you, Michael Wagner.” “Forever?” he asked. “Forever,” I said.
Judy Blume
The child from 9 to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.
Judy Blume
Something awful happens to a person who grows up as a creative kid and suddenly finds no creative outlet as an adult.
Judy Blume
I thought [Summer Sisters ] would be a children's book - two girls who summer together from very different backgrounds. And then when it just kept going and going and going. They kept getting older.
Judy Blume
you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain
Judy Blume
Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!
Judy Blume
Summer Sisters is probably my least autobiographical book. The whole idea started with rowing down the pond. And I heard an explosion. I don't like sudden loud noises. They scare me. And then all these people came running down the hill and jumped in the water in their finery and a bride and groom was with them, and that's where it all started.
