Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us? She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!
Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature.

What do you see when another comedian, black or otherwise, plays a white male?
Oft times you see them playing on things like awkward body language, lack of street smarts, a danger-seeking mentality, et cetera, while parodies of black men lean heavily on the idea that we're ill-mannered, unintelligent, quick to anger, violent, money-hungry, sex-crazed: these are character flaws not behavioural oddities.
His idea of comedy is no different then the old blackface minstrel shows. Even if you were to try and assign some grand commentary to this, why does he even have to be black? White emcees are not rare anymore. There are plenty of them at all levels of hip-hop, mainstream and underground. This comedian is white, why couldn't the character just be white?
Then we don't even need to ask these questions. I don't think it's very funny. I don't find any of it particularly appalling, however. Putting on blackface is taboo, but beyond that it doesn't make me cringe. He seems a bit out of his element at times, but mostly he's got the aesthetic down pretty good.
It does seem outdated, and the parody suffers for that. I honestly don't think this character would generate a lot of outrage in America, or the hip-hop community, just because it's so tired and unfunny. If it were more relevant and current, I could see it causing ire. It wouldn't make it past the pilot stage. I don't know if any actors—white, black, or other—would even agree to take part in that. Blackface is subject that white actors in America would not touch with a ten-foot stick.
Black people would make sure that this sort of show was not released. Tropic Thunder had to be thoroughly—no, tediously—explained and most of the mainstream black community was against it. But, hey, with the right PR anything is possible. At the same time, in terms of comedy, it's not hard-hitting: neither of those people have had any sort of commercial impact in seven or eight years.
That's just not what rap is now; it's a dull blade. On top of it, yeah, it's offensive. Some things are just immutable: I remember Ted Danson—he appeared in blackface at a roast [where someone is subjected to a public presentation of comedic insults, praise, outlandish stories, and tributes] for Whoopi Goldberg and there was this huge uproar. Understandably so, because there's a certain legacy.
It's a whole different ball game when there is no Australian minstrel show, you know what I mean? There is no legacy. I drove around the American south in and there are Little Black Sambo books and stories about plantations.
There's still that legacy there. For a country like Australia: I guarantee you that if he did something about Aborigines that was that insensitive there would probably be more of an uproar. Or maybe not, I don't know. Ultimately, it comes down to what is he parodying?
It's different when you're invested in the culture and you're lovingly parodying it, like The Lonely Island—I think that's a perfect example, actually. You have a guy like Jorma Taccone and he's the biggest E fan, or East Flatbush Project—these random, obscure artists that this person really loves.
He has a nuanced perspective of it. To Lilley's credit, he's not necessarily parodying the street rap guy; he's parodying the fake rap guy, which I think in his mind allows him a certain immunity. But at the same time, it just feels like he picked up his version of hip-hop at a point that was convenient to him, and didn't do any of the legwork. The best parodies are incisive, and they're researched, and they're sharp.
Like The Lonely Island: they get it, they make it authentic and then turn it on its head. Whereas Lilley's stuff is just a really flaccid and flabby attempt at satire — it's just toothless: what are you parodying?
