I love the fact that Clearly had a similar "Reading Biography" that most of us did-- struggling with reading at first, but then in our adulthood finding interest and even a career surrounding around literacy. She used her past experience as a reader in order to estabish what she would write about in her books. She knew that there would still be children now who struggled with reading especially because they were not interested in what they were reading. Many of my lower readers love Clearly's books since it deals a lot with adventure and curiousity through the lens of a kid similar to their age.
