About This Book
Alice Rumphius grows up dreaming of traveling the world, living by the sea, and doing something to make the world more beautiful. She fulfills the first two wishes with ease, but the third proves to be the greatest challenge - until she discovers the perfect way to scatter beauty across the countryside by planting lupine flowers everywhere she goes.
Why We Love This
An all-time favorite in our house - the message of leaving the world more beautiful than you found it is one we come back to again and again, and Barbara Cooney's illustrations are pure magic.
