Join Junie B. on her first day of first grade, where many changes are in store: Junie’s best friend Lucille has found new best friends -— and Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. While in Mr. Scary’s class, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard — and she may need glasses. Add in a friendly cafeteria lady, an intense kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.

Writing Down the Story of My Life is from the musical Junie B. Jones The Musical Jr. which is based on the children’s book series OF THE SAME NAME written by Barbara Park and illustrated by Denise Brunkus. the book series was published from 1992 – 2013 and centered on the “almost 6-year-old,” Junie B. Jones, and her adventures in kindergarten and first grade. the song is notable for its energetic, upbeat nature, reflecting Junie’s enthusiastic personality, and the way it cleverly incorporates the idea of journaling as a way for her to process and share her experiences. which aligns perfectly with the book series’ core narrative where Junie frequently writes in her diary.
