Honoring the life and legacy of award-winning children's author Beverly Cleary.

House Resolution 385 is a commemorative measure intended to honor the life and legacy of the renowned children’s author Beverly Cleary following her death at age 104. The resolution formally recognizes her contributions to American literature and her impact as one of the most successful authors of the 20th century.

As a simple resolution, this bill does not create new laws, allocate federal funding, or change public policy. Its primary impact is to provide an official expression of sympathy from the U.S. House of Representatives to Cleary’s family and to acknowledge her role in promoting literacy and storytelling for generations of children.
