Miss Rumphius
by Barbara Cooney
This is a fabulous picture book and one of my childhood favorites. It is about a little girl who grows up, travels the world, and returns home to live by the sea and make the world more beautiful. The illustrations are lovely and the story is sweet, engaging, and uplifting. I noticed recently that this book is included in the Charlotte Mason homeschooling curriculum for first grade, which makes me want to homeschool even more than ever! Perhaps best of all, it's not too long and makes a great bedtime story.
