Authors & their Cats: Beverly Cleary

I am a huge fan of Newberry Award winning children's book author Beverly Cleary. I often reread her books which are filled with subtle life lessons and lots of humor. 

Beverly Cleary was a cat enthusiast. She had several cats over the years including the one in this photo who posed sitting on top of the manuscript she was editing. 

One of her well known books is Socks about the misadventures of a tabby cat. 

Beverly Cleary was named a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress in 2000. She died on March 26, 2021 at the age of 104.
