Praise for Growing Up Green and Gold "What a great book for young fans of the Green Bay Packers. Judy does a wonderful job to bring home the passion she has for her Green and Gold and toss in life lessons at the same time. My favorite part was where she wrote, 'Our loyalty is sure and strong / The Packers are our team all year long / We love Green Bay win or lose / No other team would we ever choose.' These are great attributes to teach kids, and there is no better way to illustrate these points than by using and highlighting a historic and legendary team like the Green Bay Packers. Well done, Judy." Del Duduit Author of the Stars of Faith Series "A wonderful poetic story for the youngest of Packers Nation on all that it means to be a Packers fan."
