Happy Birthday to the wonderful Barbara Park! Your hilarious and heartfelt stories have given us countless laughs, unforgettable adventures, and a lifetime of Junie B. Jones-inspired sassiness. From Junie's quirky antics in kindergarten to her bold escapades in first grade, you've captured childhood perfectly—complete with all its messy charm.Your talent for creating relatable characters shines brightly through Beanpole's touching friendships and Skinnybones' comedic misadventures. You've taught generations that humor is timeless, imagination has no limits, and it's always okay to be unapologetically yourself—even if you're occasionally "almost starring" rather than fully center stage. Here's wishing you endless birthday giggles!
