Judy Blume's Birthday: Top Tweets From The Author

The beloved author Judy Blume turns 74 today, and though, as we write this, we don't know how she will celebrate, we wouldn't be surprised if she told us herself. That's because the woman who gave the world "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," "Wifey" and all those "Fudge" books is an avid user of Twitter. Not only does she weigh in on pop culture, provide updates on the film adaptation of "Tiger Eyes" and let us know that she, too, procrastinates on writing, she also corresponds with fans and celebrities. In honor of her birthday, we thought it was only appropriate to collect some of our favorite tweets.

I never knew Judy was on Twitter.

I grew up with her books and thanks to her writing I found growing up less painful than it could have been.

Thank you Judy.

For my generation (growing up as a teen in the late 70's), Judy Blume bridged the communication gap that mothers of teenagers could not. Our poor parents weren't yet ready to help us navigate the post- hippy- generation world, and Ms. Blume came to the rescue. She told us, "Your body/ emotions/ sexuality, etc., are NORMAL. This is how you can take control of your life". I know she saved so many of us from feeling isolated, and empowered us as teens, adults and parents ourselves. Thank you and Happy Birthday, Judy Blume!
