It’s the first day of school for Ramona and Beezus:
Beverly Cleary, Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (New York: William Morrow, 1981).
This passage makes me remember the thrill of the small, the way the most modest surprise can spark delight. (Shiny quarters from grandparents.) Ramona’s eraser, “pearly pink,” is undoubtedly a Pink Pearl.
Ramona Quimby, Age 8 is part of my Sustained Silent Reading.
