If you've read any childrens' books at all, you've probably come across some of Barbara Cooney's work, since she's written or illustrated more than 200 of them. The Ox-Cart man and Roxaboxen are two of her more well-known titles. But I'm all about
Miss Rumphius today. It's a perfect story for the upcoming Earth Day. (You'll see it my plans for our Earth Day theme coming up.) Miss Rumphius has three dreams: to go to faraway places, to live beside the sea, and to make the world more beautiful. You'll be challenged to make the world a more beautiful place in your own unique way. And if you're lucky enough to have them around, you'll have a new appreciation for all the wild lupines (which is the same thing as a bluebonnet, by the way) that are
everywhere, dotting the sides of roads and vacant lots.
