Stop, drop, and D.E.A.R.! Happy D.E.A.R. Day!
Let's celebrate today by grabbing some book time! Beverly Clearly brought the day to popularity when she added it to her book ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข ๐๐ถ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฃ๐บ, ๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ช in 1981. While she did not originally create the day, her inclusion sparked popularity until it was adopted as a well-loved tradition on April 12th...her birthday!
