Filling the Well/Passages: Beverly Cleary (1916-2021)

 


(April 12, 1916 – March 25, 2021)

     “Come on, Mama!” urged Ramona, pausing in her singing and skipping. “We don’t want to be late for school.”

     “Don’t pester, Ramona,” said Mrs. Quimby. “I’ll get you there in plenty of time.”

     “I’m not pestering,” protested Ramona, who never meant to pester. She was not a slowpoke grown-up. She was a girl who could not wait. Life was so interesting she had to find out what happened next.”
 
 
From Ramona the Pest, first published in 1968 by William Morrow and Company.
