We are saddened to share that Beverly Cleary, one of the most beloved children’s books authors of all time, passed away yesterday, March 25, at 104 years old.

Looking back, Beverly would often say, ‘I’ve had a lucky life,’ and generations of readers count themselves lucky, too—lucky to have the very real characters she created, including Henry Huggins, Ramona and Beezus Quimby, and Ralph S. Mouse, as true friends who helped shape their growing-up years. https://bit.ly/3lTZovk

Klickitat Street is real! Did you know that Beverly Cleary lived in Portland, Oregon and incorporated the area into her books? The Multnomah County Library published a walking tour map of sites from the Ramona books and Beverly's life: https://bit.ly/38FDTsQ
