Barbara Park(Author of the Junie B. Jones series)

By Paige Austin

Meet Barbara

Barbara (Personally) Originally from a small town in New Jersey. Was not a bookworm as a child. She’s married and has two sons. She planned to teach high school history

and political science, in hopes making history seem a little funnier (never an author).

To Kill A Mockingbird has always been one of her top adult favorites.

Meet Junie B. Jones!“Hello, hello! It’s me. Junie B. Jones! The B stands for Beatrice.

Only I don’t like Beatrice. I just like B. and that’s all.”
