Beverly Cleary died on this day 2 years ago, aged 104. - Cleary initially struggled with reading in elementary, and admitted to finding it boring at one point.

Her books have sold over 90 million copies worldwide, and are often read by elementary teachers in American schools. - Cleary was given the National Medal of Arts in 2003- the highest award that the US government gives to authors, artists, entertainers, and art patrons. - Cleary became a centenarian in 2016, and died less than three weeks before her 105th birthday.
