As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write childrens books when she grew up. Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, Where are the books about kids like us? she remembered her teachers encouragement and was inspired to write the books shed longed to read but couldnt find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born! Mrs. Clearys books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Associations Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to childrens literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations. Jaqueline Rogers has been a professional childrens book illustrator for more than twenty years and has worked on nearly one hundred childrens books.
