Abstract

This article focuses on the upcoming relaunch of Judy Blume’s middle grade novels *Just as Long as We're Together* and *Here's to You, Rachel Robinson* by Atheneum, set for August 25 with new cover designs. Originally published by Orchard Books in 1978 and 1993, these titles will be issued simultaneously in hardcover and paperback with a first printing of 100,000 copies each. The redesigns were led by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers’ art director Lauren Rille and illustrator Debbie Ridpath Ohi, who collaborated closely to create covers that reflect the emotional honesty and timeless appeal of Blume’s character-driven stories. Blume expressed enthusiasm for the fresh, inviting covers that connect well with the novels’ themes. [Extracted from the article]
