Just Like Beverly by Vicki Conrad and David Hohn
Follow the story of revered author Beverly Cleary as she grows up, discovers a love of reading, and then writing. All set against a PNW backdrop. It will resonate with kids who aren’t sold on reading yet– Beverly initially struggled to read until she found the right teacher to set off her spark.
