Last Friday, March 19, when visiting my family in Ohio, I photographed this colorful set of books on top of Charlie’s dresser. I’d not seen them altogether in this format . I know they’ve been read aloud numerous times to Charlie.(5) he always tells me about a grandmother in the books who knits.
Then one week later on March 26th my sister sent me this NYTimes obituary – Beverly Cleary passed away at 104 years of age.
Her books were always a favorite at school, too.
What an amazing accomplished author, her books are great for kids. Thanks for sharing
Charlie has good taste. My kids all loved her books. May she Rest In Peace.
I’ve not read her books, although I’m certainly familiar with them. Love that image of her books. So happy you’ve been in Ohio with your family.
It was a wonderful weekend.
Such a loss. I remember Ramona and crew very clearly. I’ll have to start reading these to C!
