Ramona is messy, makes extremely normal kid mistakes, is impulsive, and always, always demands that her parents love her – not anyway, but as is. This might seem usual now, but “in 1950, when Ramona made her first appearance, they were not unremarkable; they were trailblazing.

And then she made that character into an inspiration.” – Washington Post
