Happy Birthday Beverly Cleary!!! Day School students celebrated children's author Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday by making cards. Beverly Cleary is the world famous author of over 40 award-winning books for school-age kids. When Beverly was little, she was a struggling reader. She didn’t to learn to read until she was in the 2nd grade. When she did learn to read, she had trouble finding books that interested her; they were boring! When she grew up, she decided to write books that kids would find interesting with characters that behaved like real kids! Her books include: Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Muggie Maggie, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, and many more! Her novels have been published in 20 countries and in more than 14 different languages! Anyone who calls themselves a reader should absolutely check out her work! All cards will be sent to Mrs. Cleary in time for her birthday on April 12th! We are grateful to parent Ramona Donaruma and Beth Poirier for organizing this project for Day School students. Thanks, Mrs. Trantanella and Mrs. Taylor-Teran for creating space in the library for this special birthday tribute!
