It's National D.E.A.R. Day and Beverly Cleary's Birthday!

Today is National Drop Everything and Read Day (D.E.A.R. Day)! It's easy to celebrate . . . just read a book!

 D.E.A.R. Day is celebrated on Beverly Cleary's birthday. Beverly Cleary was born on April 12, 1916. She wrote The Mouse and the Motorcycle, the Ramona series, and many more books between 1950 and 1999. Before becoming an author, Cleary worked as a librarian.

Happy birthday to Ms. Cleary and happy D.E.A.R. Day to everyone!
