I was nearly brought to tears by the news that Beverly Clearly died today at the age of 104.
I read "Henry and Ribsy" in 1st grade, the first true "book" I ever attempted, and for the last 40 years I've remained a devoted fan of her work
Henry Huggins. Ribsy. Ralph the Mouse. Beezus. Ramona. Every one of them a friend.
RIP Mrs. Cleary. You made a difference in this world.
