Who is Beverly Cleary?
Beverly Cleary (1916-2021) was an award-winning American writer of children’s and young adult fiction. In fact, she was one of America’s most successful authors, selling more than 90 million copies of her books worldwide during her long career–that began in 1950 after working as a librarian for a decade.
In fact, it was during her time as a librarian that she realized that kids deserve books of literary quality. When she first started writing, Beverly took inspiration from the times she composed stories for children during Saturday afternoon story hours when she worked for the library in Yakima.
She later wrote about people living ordinary lives, some of her characters are in fact based on her own childhood experiences, the kids in her neighborhood growing up, as well as children she met while working as a librarian.
During her almost 50-year career, Beverly Cleary created popular characters such as Ramona Quimby and Beezus Quimby, Henry Huggins and his dog Ribsy, and Ralph S. Her work influenced more than one generation of writers and was enjoyed by millions of children.
