St. Louis Jewish Book Festival & Speaker Series Presents Mark Oppenheimer

Some books stay with us long after we've turned the final page. Judy Blume's stories helped generations of readers navigate childhood, adolescence, and all the messy moments in between.

In Judy Blume: A Life, journalist, professor, and Unorthodox podcaster Mark Oppenheimer draws on years of personal interviews to tell the fascinating story behind the author whose honest voice forever changed children's literature.

Whether you grew up devouring her novels or are discovering her legacy through children and grandchildren, this engaging conversation offers fresh insight into the woman who gave millions of readers the courage to feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.

This event is in partnership with Saul Mirowitz Jewish Community School
