Watching my kindergartner at the playground “for safety” and thinking of how in 1954 Beezus left 4yo Ramona in the sand pile outside the community center for an hour unsupervised every Friday night and this was considered an ideal arrangement for everyone.

"I can tell you one thing, I don't want to braid any stupid lanyards!

...Nobody needs more than one lanyard, and I'm fed up with lanyards!"

– Garf, 'Runaway Ralph,’ 1970

Happy #DropEverythingAndReadDay! Nobody wrote kid emotions like #BeverlyCleary. I still go back to the Ramona books regularly to learn and for cozy nostalgia. I never got to meet her, but I was grateful to find this signed copy on EBay for my collection.

In 1977, I wrote to my favorite author Beverly Cleary (Ramona Quimby! Henry Huggins!), and she wrote back! I have one small box of keepsakes from my childhood. Somehow most things important to me got lost in my lifetime, but luckily I still have this letter. Happy heavenly birthday! #beverlycleary

A heroine indelible in text…
Adventures, perplexed and complex:
A dawnzer’s lee light,
Creativity’s flights,
And keen interest in what happens next!

Once upon a time, I co-hosted a #BeverlyCleary #podcast with @tracemcjoy.bsky.social. You can still listen to it!
Speaking of kid's lit, regular guest host @pcgonzo.bsky.social (of Deep in Bear Country)
and I also did a podcast where we read every single book by Beverly Cleary. All episodes still available! www.theincomparable.com/klickitcast/

Like Socks before me with the leftover formula, I have developed a taste for my daughter’s extra chicken nuggets… #BeverlyCleary #parenting

For National Book Lovers Day: my favorite book? Dunno. So many books, so little time. But certainly the book that got me reading and writing. Beverly Clearly is still in my top echelon of favorite authors.

An unfortunate fact that as you get older gifts become a little more practical -- and a little less exciting.

(But I'll still always say "Yes, please!" to a pencil sharpener that's built like a tank)

For everyone who's been sending out so much #BeverlyCleary love: this weekend, I read WAYS TO MAKE SUNSHINE by @reneewauthor...if you (or a kid you know) loves Ramona, I'm willing to bet that Ryan Hart will steal your heart, too! The sibling relationship in this book is 100% ❤️

Beverly Cleary was my grandma’s neighbor and I’m told was a lovely person. My dad grew up on Klickitat Street, same as Henry Huggins in the books. RIP #BeverlyCleary https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/books/beverly-cleary-dead.html?referringSource=articleShare

Aww Beverly Cleary.

So many childhood readers thanks to her. 104 pretty darn good and I am glad she knew how much her writing meant to children.

"Worn out as she was by anger & tears, Ramona faced the truth. She could no longer go on being afraid of the dark. She was too weary to remain frightened & sleepless." Thank you to #BeverlyCleary, who taught me & countless others to be brave & resilient. #MyPatronusIsRamonaQuimby
