Originally published in 1982, Miss Rumphius tells the story of Alice Rumphius, who dreams of traveling the world and living beside the sea. But her grandfather gives her one more important task: she must do something to make the world more beautiful.

Eventually, Alice finds her calling in scattering lupine seeds across the countryside, leaving behind fields of beautiful flowers for generations to enjoy.

With Barbara Cooney's delicate illustrations and themes of beauty, purpose, and caring for the natural world, this is a wonderful living book for a Charlotte Mason-inspired home.
