Having said that, my original intent with this Flashback Friday First Pages was to showcase the Ramona books. It’s still important to mention that we need diverse books in 2023, especially in light of all the book banning happening across the good ole US of A. Whereas I never read about characters who looked like me, my Bookworm Kids have read characters with so much diversity, including main characters who look like them. It’s partially because they have always favored fantasy/adventure/sci-fi genres and partially because they have so many MORE choices. I’ve read countless numbers of both of their books and I’m a little sad that neither of my kids have read any.
I don’t think there’s anything more classic from my childhood than Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume.
