Told in her own words, My Own Two Feet is Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary's second heartfelt and relatable memoir.
The New Yorker called Beverly Cleary's first volume of memoirs, A Girl From Yamhill, a warm, honest book, as interesting as any novel.
Now the creator of the classic children's stories millions grew up with continues her own fascinating story. Here is Beverly Cleary, from college years to the publication of her first book. It is a fascinating look at her life and a writing career that spans three generations, continuing to capture the hearts and imaginations of children of all ages throughout the world.
Beverly Cleary's books have sold more than 85 million copies and have been translated into
twenty-nine different languages, which speaks to the worldwide reach and love
of her stories. She was honored with a Newbery Honor for Ramona and Her Father and a second one for Ramona
Quimby, Age 8. She received the John Newbery Medal for Dear Mr.
Henshaw, which was inspired by letters she'd received from children. Her autobiographies, A Girl from Yamhill and My Own Two Feet, are a wonderful way to get to know more about this most beloved children's book author.
