decades. Beloved by millions, the Junie B. Jones books have been
translated into multiple languages and are a time-honored staple in
elementary school classrooms around the world. Barbara once said,
“I’ve never been sure whether Junie B.’s fans love her in spite of
her imperfections…or because of them. But either way, she’s gone
out into the world and made more friends than I ever dreamed
possible.”
Barbara Park is also the author of award-winning middle grade
novels and bestselling picture books, including Skinnybones, Mick
Harte Was Here, and Ma! There’s Nothing to Do Here!
Barbara Park was born in New Jersey in 1947 and spent most of her
