While she didn’t immediately become an author once becoming an adult, this direction did set her on the path to write the books she wished she could find on library shelves as a child. It was at this young age that her school librarian suggested she should become a children’s author when she grew up. It wasn’t until the third grade that she found herself excelling in reading and surrounded by books once more. However, when her family moved to Portland, Cleary was put into the school’s low reading circle. While she died in 2021 at the age of 104, her legacy is one that will live on for generations to come.Ĭleary grew up on a farm in Yamhill, a town with no library, but her mother arranged to have books sent from the State Library and acted as the town’s librarian. She wrote what she wanted to read a child and subsequently paved the way for all future children’s books about rambunctious, meddlesome kids just being kids.

From Ramona Quimby to Henry Huggins, she wrote about children that were unruly, mischievous, but always well-meaning. Beverly Cleary is a legend for her contribution to children’s literature. How much of an impact does emotional intelligence have on your professional success? The short answer is: a lot! It’s a powerful way to focus your energy in one direction with a tremendous result. IQ, emotional intelligence, and personality each cover unique ground and help to explain what makes a person tick.Įmotional Intelligence Is Linked to Performance. Also like IQ, personality is stable over a lifetime and doesn’t change. However, like IQ, personality can’t be used to predict emotional intelligence. Personality is the result of hard-wired preferences, such as the inclination toward introversion or extroversion. It’s the stable “style” that defines each of us. Personality is the final piece of the puzzle. Although some people are naturally more emotionally intelligent than others, you can develop high emotional intelligence even if you aren’t born with it. Emotional intelligence, on the other hand, is a flexible set of skills that can be acquired and improved with practice. Intelligence is your ability to learn, and it’s the same at age 15 as it is at age 50. There is no known connection between IQ and emotional intelligence you simply can’t predict emotional intelligence based on how smart someone is. Emotional intelligence taps into a fundamental element of human behavior that is distinct from your intellect. I read Elizabeth and her German Garden and The Solitary Summer several years later and loved them, too – albeit not quite so much as The Enchanted April, which has made it into that quite limited pantheon of books I have read more than 3 times. I have read several books by von Armin since I fortuitously picked up old green-cover Virago edition of The Enchanted April many years ago and fell in love with it. While Jennifer is desperate to experience life on her own terms within her reduced financial means, her neighbour Alice is pre-occupied with ensuring her position as head of her brother's household is never challenged. Published in 1931, Father explores the concept of spinsterhood in a time when the financial and social status of single women were often dependent on male family members. Quickly she secures the lease of Rose Cottage and turns her attention to her own needs and interests. After the sudden announcement that he has taken a new wife, Jennifer, at 33, seizes the opportunity to lead an independent life. Since her mother's death Jennifer has devoted years of her life to her father, managing the family home and acting as his secretary. There came a moment, she imagined, in the lives of most unmarried daughters, and perhaps in other people's too, when they must either bolt or go permanently under.' Kates first picture book The Great Snortle Hunt written by Claire Freedman was longlisted for the 2013 Kate Greenaway Medal. She has exhibited with her good chums Girls Who Draw and Inkygoodness across the UK and had a jolly good time painting up a totem pole for the Pictoplasma Character Walk exhibition 2011. Kate Hindley studied illustration at Falmouth College of Art and went on to work for two years as a childrens print designer at a studio in Northampton whilst working freelance on childrens books and greetings cards. Writer Mike Noonan leads an uneventful but happy life in Derry. Using Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca'' as inspiration, King spins a tale of Gothic horror and romance, set in his familiar stomping grounds of upper Maine. In fact, "Bag of Bones'' is the finest he's written. Like "Misery,'' "The Shining,'' "The Dead Zone,'' "Pet Sematary,'' "Dolores Claiborne'' and "The Green Mile,'' this will become one of his classics. So when I sat down to read and review King's latest (his first with Scribner after his former publisher, Viking, turned down King's request for a record $17 million), I approached it with trepidation. He's used them so frequently his novels grew as tedious as the B-movie horror flicks he professes to love. Always adept at narrative, King has, in later years, been prone to overusing the techniques of building suspense. The problem hasn't been with the stories so much as the execution. In some cases - "Eyes of the Dragon,'' "Needful Things'' - I couldn't push hard enough. 27 - Since around 1988 (with three exceptions), I've found it necessary to push myself into finishing Stephen King's novels. However, studies now show that reverting back to traditional dietary patterns involving whole foods can mitigate the damage done. What was not known before was whether the negative effects could be reversed. Scientists know that the Western diet is linked to killer diseases and that cultures who adopt the Western diet fall victim to these diseases shortly after. But when you ignore the effects of processed foods, added fats, sugar, and scant amounts of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains on the body, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle. Most nutritional studies in America have one thing in common-none of them examine the types of food promoted by the Western diet. Low-fat foods had taken overthe American diet, and Americans got fatter and sicker. It wasn’t until the 1990s that scientists realized the deadly effects of trans fat.
