Description
When Miss Rumphius was not Miss Rumphius yet, but only Alice, her grandfather always told her that in addition to her dreams, she had to also make the world a more beautiful place. Miss Rumphius fulfills her two dreams of traveling to far away places and then retiring to a place by the sea, but she wonders what she can do to fulfill the third goal of beautifying the world. "After all," she thinks in her house by the sea, "it is already so beautiful." What can she possibly do?
Publisher's Description of Miss Rumphius
A beloved classicwritten by a beloved Caldecott winneris lovelier than ever!
Barbara Cooney's story of Alice Rumphius, who longed to travel the world, live in a house by the sea, and do something to make the world more beautiful, has a timeless quality that resonates with each new generation. The countless lupines that bloom along the coast of Maine are the legacy of the real Miss Rumphius, the Lupine Lady, who scattered lupine seeds everywhere she went. Miss Rumphius received the American Book Award in the year of publication.
To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of two-time Caldecott winner Barbara Cooney's best-loved book, the illustrations have been reoriginated, going back to the original art to ensure state-of-the-art reproduction of Cooney's exquisite artwork. The art for Miss Rumphius has a permanent home in the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
