"In all of my school years, . . . not one single teacher ever said to me, 'Perhaps you should consider becoming a writer,'" Byars recalls. "Anyway, I didn't want to be a writer. Writing seemed boring. You sat in a room all day by yourself and typed. If I was going to be a writer at all, I was going to be a foreign correspondent like Claudette Colbert in Arise My Love. I would wear smashing hats, wisecrack with the guys, and have a byline known round the world. My father wanted me to be a mathematician." So Byars set out to become mathematician, but when she couldn't grasp calculus in college, she turned to English. Even then, writing was not on her immediate horizon. First, she married and started a family. The writing career didn't emerge until she was 28, a mother of two children, and living in a small place she called the barracks apartment, in Urbana, Illinois. She and her husband, Ed, had moved there in 1956 so he could attend graduate school at the University of Illinois. She was bored, had no friends, and so turned to writing to fill her time. Since that time, Byars has written more than 45 books for young readers and has won numerous awards. Among them are the Newbery Medal, which she received in 1971 for

More Info Advertisements: Betsy Byars This article by Carol Otis Hurst first appeared in the October 1996 Issue of Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Newsletter. For our author study this quarter, let's take the wonderfully prolific author Betsy Byars. Talking with her, you instantly become aware of her candor, accessibility and ability to laugh at herself. The second best way to get to know this warm and funny lady is through her memoir The Moon and I (Messner, 1992 ISBN 0688137040. Paperback ). Here we get glimpses of her childhood, (Don't miss the chapter about Miss Harriet, her first grade teacher. It will make you laugh, remember and cry.) and her current life, but the book is so much more than an autobiography. Mostly it's about her overwhelming curiosity and passion for knowing. Her obsession about the snake, Moon, leads her to one of the most hilarious passages I've read in any book. She talks about writing and her unconventional methods of doing so in such a way that kids and teachers who are convinced that writing must be a lock-step process may have some second thoughts. This is one of the few autobiographies that most kids will want to hear
