BARBARA PARK is best known as the author of the wildly popular
New York Times bestselling Junie B. Jones series, which has kept
kids (and their grown-ups) laughing—and reading—for over two
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. Every bit as funny
as her best-known character, Barbara once said, “There are those
who believe that the value of a children’s book can be measured
only in terms of the moral lessons it tries to impose or the
perfect role models it offers. Personally, I happen to think that a
book is of extraordinary value if it gives the reader nothing more
than a smile or two. In fact, I happen to think that’s huge.”
Barbara Park is also the author of award-winning middle grade
novels and bestselling picture books, including Skinnybones, Mick
Harte Was Here, and The Kid in the Red Jacket.
Barbara Park was born in New Jersey in 1947 and spent most of her
adult life in Arizona, where she and her husband, Richard, raised
two sons. Barbara died in 2013, but her legacy lives on in the
laughter her books give to readers all over the world.
"At times both funny and touching, this sequel to Don't Make Me Smile paints a realistic picture of life in a blended family."--School Library Journal
