'Dear Judy,
I have a problem that I cannot tell my mom about . . .'
Judy Blume, the world-famous children's author receives nearly 2,000 letters a month from children who pour out their feelings to her.
One ten year old wrote: 'Please write a book for adults about our problems to open their eyes.'
This is it, a collection of the letters she receives, together with her own thoughts, feelings and practical advice.
Some letters may make you smile, some may make you cry. Many will strike a chord. Above all, it is an attempt to break the silence and help adults and children understand each other better.
