Clarice Bean Series by Lauren Child - Goodreads

Not so long ago – or maybe a lifetime ago, I can never tell – I couldn’t really work out what I should do with my life. I had always hoped that I might be discovered in a supermarket, or maybe at a bus stop – I had heard that this sometimes happened to people who then went on to lead hugely successful lives.I needed to prove that I could come up with strong characters, create a world for them, draw and also design. I made her middle name Bean because I thought her parents were quite unconventional and might be the sort of people to give their child an unusual combination of names.
