Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on October 31, 1932)

Happy Birthday, Katherine Paterson! May your day be filled with more adventures than Jess and Leslie had in Terabithia—minus the rope swings over creeks. Your timeless stories have taught generations that friendship is magical, puppeteers are secretly heroes, and sibling rivalry can inspire award-winning novels.

From "Bridge to Terabithia" capturing hearts worldwide to "Jacob Have I Loved" resonating deeply across ages, you've given us countless reasons to laugh, cry—and occasionally question our siblings' motives. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as your books bring readers everywhere (and fewer plot twists). Cheers to another chapter of literary brilliance!
