she writes on weighty subjects, and treats kids like human beings, never ever writing down to them, or anyone else. her stories have been touchstones in children's reading lives for 40+ years. good lord, that would be incredible.Īnyway, judy is the grandmother, or mother, we wish we all could have. Here's the weird thing, all the way through the listening, all i could think is 'i wish kristin chenoweth was narrating this story!' then i went down a rabbit hole of thinking about having more broadway performers getting into the audiobook game. it was still very enjoyable, and while set just post-WWII, and came out in 1977, it manages to feel like a story as relevant today as it was when i read it so many years ago. when it came across my library radar as available in audiobook, i couldn't resist. and i still consider this one of my favourite stories. i must have read my copy of the novel hundreds of times. it brought so many issues and ideas to light, while feeding into my curiosities about the world beyond my front door. This book was so important to me in my childhood. i didn't love judy blume narrating her own story. I AM! because i am about to say something i never thought i would say. This review is for the audiobook edition, narrated by judy blume.
