“Can't we be friends? 'I hate your guts, Frankovitch'  Can't our guts be friends? ” - Barbara Parks

On April 21, 1947 Doris and Brooke Tidswell gave birth to Barbara Lynne Parks in Mount Holly Township, New Jersey. As a young girl Barbara knew exactly what she wanted to do with my life and that was to be on Mickey Mouse Club House. Barbara LOVED that show! After my high school year at Rancocas Valley, she attended Rider College right here in little New Jersey for two years before transferring to the University of Alabama where she received my Bachelors of Science. Her plans in college was to become a history teacher and political science.

But some how she developed a passion for reading and it grew more and more stronger each year. You could always catch her with a Archie comic book. When Barbara get asked the question about how did she become a stagger writer? she would say it was because of her love for reading and skills for laughter. She wanted to make a book that would keep you on your toes and always wondering what next to happen. And her love for her boyfriend Richard did too.

They met on campus we were in the same math 101 class and they instantly clicked, she knew then that he was the one for me because there chemistry was just so alarming. Few years later she became the Mrs. Richard A. Parks and we relocated to Arizona because she was getting ready to enter the force. Her career was just taking off and her books started to become known everywhere in the states, this was a exciting moment almost as exciting as when she found out I was pregnant with two boys Steven and David. They are her pride and joy, they inspire me to work harder. Junie B. Jones was influenced by my babies, they made me want to write children's books. She have won seven Children's choice awards and Four Parent's choice awards all thanks to the popular Junie B. Jones.

People who rather shop I want to read don’t get me wrong I love to stop but its not my biggest hobby like some other people.

Are you going to continue to write books? Yes I am, im never going to stop. When im about 97 years old I am still going to be writing book.
