Authorship Change

Following the death of Parish, children would send in fan letters asking about the continuation of the book series. Herman Parish, her nephew, felt uncomfortable to let his aunt's work to be continued by someone not in the family. He then undertook authorship in 1995 with the full support of his family.

In 2009, Herman Parish began writing books about Amelia Bedelia's own childhood experiences, starting with Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School.
