"“We must! We must! We must increase our bust!” 😆🤭
Whether you read all or some of her books or none at all, #WOMEN, in particular, might get a kick out of watching this documentary & REMINISCING about their #puberty or pre-pubescent years, as just about every #female #tweenager or elementary school-aged & middle-schooler #GIRL 👧🏽 back in the 1970’s (and onward from there) probably remembers this memorable quote (phrase) from the #JudyBloom novel: “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret” 🎥 (**now a movie currently showing in theaters in April 2023**)
▪️ This documentary does a good job exploring the arc of Judy Bloom’s life & writing career. ⭐️ If you ever read her books, this is a must-watch, and if you never read her books, you will still understand why she is a much-beloved & significant author ✍️ 📖 #bannedbooks #Bestsellers #juvenilefiction

"It was fascinating to hear about Judy Blume's story and the backstory behind her books. I've never read them because they were banned when I was growing up and I didn't have access to them. So, I don't have the nostalgia that it seems others do. This documentary was very well done!"

"For anyone who enjoys coming of age stories or the struggles that women face. Also for the most loyal or casual fan of the incomparable Judy Blume. "
