My father was a playwright my mother was in the Russian ballet. They were older than most parents of my peers, and I was the only child. I was very lucky to be born into a family where my parents were extremely well-read. How did your upbringing shape who you are today and what you write about? Did you have any illustrators in the family? You grew up in the 1940s and 1950s in rural New Jersey (as you call it, the “golden years”). Here Rosemary chats with Mackin’s Lori Tracy about those “golden years” in America, how today’s students and education system have changed, how she can continually create award-winners, and why children shouldn’t read about vampires. Many of her books, however, transport the young reader back to those days filled with optimism, simplicity, exploration, common sense and hard work. It was a simpler time in America when Rosemary Wells transformed from a bright-eyed youngster to a well-read, talented writer and illustrator.

Horning also said that Cleary’s books came at a time when a lot of children’s books didn’t feature some of the battles and conflict that everyday children deal with. "What I think she was doing was writing about real kids - kids who fought with their siblings who didn’t always behave in a perfect manner," said Horning. Instead, she wrote about the bothersome kid on the playground or down the street. According to Kathleen Horning, the director of the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the School of Education at University of Wisconsin-Madison, what made Cleary different is that she avoided tales of perfectly mannered children and idyllic childhoods.
