  1. A Beverly Cleary Story By: Sara Frasier

  2. The Early Years • Beverly Cleary was born in McMinnville, Oregon on April 12, 1916 and, until she was old enough to attend school, lived on a farm in Yamhill, a town so small it had no library. when the family moved to Portland, Beverly soon found herself in the grammar school's low reading circle, an experience that has given her sympathy for the problems of struggling readers. • By the third grade she had conquered She decided that someday she would write the books she longed to read but was unable to find on the library shelves, funny stories about her neighborhood and the sort of children she knew. And so Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, Ellen Tebbits, and her other beloved characters were born. • When children ask Mrs. Cleary where she finds her ideas, she replies, "From my own experience and from the world around me." She included a passage about the D.E.A.R. program in Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (second chapter) because she was inspired by letters she received from children who participated in "Drop Everything and Read" activities. Their interest and enthusiasm encouraged her to provide the same experience to Ramona, who enjoys D.E.A.R. time with the rest of her class.

  3. And the Award Goes to….. • Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including; • the 2003 National Medal of Art from the National Endowment of the Arts • the 1984 John Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw. • Ramona and Her Father and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 were named 1978 and 1982 Newbery Honor Books, respectively. • the American Library Association's 1975 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award • the Catholic Library Association's 1980 Regina Medal, • the University of Southern Mississippi's 1982 Silver Medallion • In addition, Mrs. Cleary was the 1984 United States author nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen Award, a prestigious international award. • more than 35 statewide awards • In 2000, Beverly Cleary was named a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress. • This witty and warm author is truly an international favorite.
