Check out this lovely interview/profile with Beverly here.
a highlight:
For Cleary, the most rewarding thing about her writing career has been “the children who have discovered the pleasure of reading with my books,” she says. “I remember when I made the same discovery in third grade, and it was a turning point in my life.”
Happy Birthday, Beverly! And thank you for the books, your gift to all of us.
p.s. - my favorite Beverly Cleary book? The Mouse and The Motorcycle. What's yours?
