The Pee Wee Jubilee

Pee Wee Scouts #11

by Judy Delton

The Pee Wee Scouts and their parents are off to Atlanta, Georgia, for the first-ever Pee Wee Jubilee.

What does that mean?

It means an airplane ride for everyone.  (Sonny Betz really gets scared!) It means camping out, bonfires, sports, and crafts.  It means a special new song and making friends from far away.  It means Pee Wee Scouts everywhere!

But, for Molly Duff, it means much more.  The Jubilee is far from home.  Molly feels all alone. Sometimes it's not easy to be a perfect Pee Wee.

About the author

Born on May 6th in St. Paul, Minnesota, Judy Delton lived in her hometown for most of her life. She wrote more than one hundred books for children, including the popular Pee Wee Scouts series, which sold more than seven million copies. Her writing was often compared to Beverly Cleary or Carolyn Haywood for her ability to capture the essence of childhood.

For many years, Ms. Delton taught writing classes in her home. Today, those writers are having their own books published and remember her forthright instruction and critique with appreciation. Many writers have benefited from her handbook, The 29 Most Common Writing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.

Ms. Delton had four children and decided to quit teaching so she could stay home and raise them. Writing prolifically was her way of supporting her family. She died very suddenly of a blood infection in December of 2001. Her legions of friends and all those she taught were greatly saddened.
