Happy Birthday, Beverly Cleary

I loved Beverly Cleary’s books even more when we read them to our children than I did when I read them as a child. It’s because she has a unique ability to capture the way a child sees the world, filtered through the sympathetic understanding of an insightful adult who also happens to be an exceptional writer. I am especially fond of The Ramona Collection
Happy 94th birthday, Ms. Cleary!
I can never use the phrase “for the present” without thinking of Ramona. I hope this new movie introduces a new generation of families to Beverly Cleary’s fine work.
“Sit here for the present!” One of my favorites! Thanks so much, Pam.
