RIP Beverly Cleary (March 25 2021)

Looked for the thread, didn't find one.  Only found out this weekend. My youngest still likes listening to all of her Henry Huggins/Ramona Quimby books.  To say that in 2021 shows Mrs. Cleary knew how to tap into something.  As the Obits pointed out, she never talked down to her readers, and the humor was never mean.   Her books to me fit into a 'timeless' category.  Other than using real telephones and sometimes the discussion of how much things would cost, they translate well to our modern era.  Thank you, Mrs. Cleary for what you gave our family, and millions of others.

Grew up on those books.  Cheers to a life well lived.

My daughter loved the Ramona books. I think I read them all to her.

RIP Mrs. Cleary
