Summary

Judy Blume Forever explores the life and legacy of trailblazing author Judy Blume, whose honest and captivating books changed the way millions of adolescent readers understood themselves and what it meant to grow up. In this special episode, Zibby interviews Judy (again!?!) and the film's directors. Zibby and Judy talk about their bookstores, giving love another chance, and fan mail (Judy has kept every single letter she has ever received!). Then, the directors share what it was like to work on this special project.
