Me as a kid: I want to be a writer when I grown up!

Me as an adult, surrounded by grants that need writing: No, no, not like that.

Happy #WorldBookDay! These are all the wonderful books I’ve been reading since 2019. I’m currently about halfway through Being Mortal, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is up next.

Happy Reading! 📚💕

@MM_Cleary 103, actually! That NPR story is from 2016! :-)

[Cassandra Caffee Morelock @CassandraCaffee]

Cleary has said that she's always thought like a kid... "I'm just lucky. I do have very clear memories of childhood. I find that many people don't, but I'm just very fortunate that I have that kind of memory." - very evident in her writing, and why it appeals to children!

Happy 103rd Birthday to one of my most favorite authors of all time, Beverly Cleary! ❤️

@MeganCarolan I saw this video this morning. The other assumption is that nothing bad or unpredictable will ever happen to that person or their family.
