About this product

Product Information

A beloved classic is 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, Viking has reoriginated the illustrations, 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.

    Such a sweet, important message

    This book has so many followers, that there is a teacher's guide for it. The message that Miss Rumphius searches for a way to make the world a more beautiful place is one we should all take to heart. My grown daughter reads this from time to time as a reminder to shine during dark times and she now has a copy for her own child to read.

  • An instant classic; "Miss Rumphius" is a book that all people should know.

    Barbara Cooney wrote a book called "Miss Rumphius" that has the ability to entertain and warm the soul of children to adults and at the same time she teaches the very meaning of life: "You must do something to leave the world more beautiful than you found it." Thje book is inspiring, well written and the illustrations are vivid and warming. There are some wonderful classic children's books: Curious George, Wrinkle In Time, Mary Poppins, Oz, Where the Wild Things Are and others that you yourself can think of- titles we all know because of decades and decades of constant reading. This particular book is in the same catagory: This book is one to be read to your children over and over and this book will become YOUR classic. I own it in paperback and it is tattered and loved with crayon marks ...

  • Beautiful illustrations, good message

    Not too long for a bedtime story and had engaging illustrations. Kids really enjoyed the message about finding one's own purpose and leaving the Earth more beautiful than you enter it. Appropriate for 10 and under.

  • Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney

    Wonderful story, beautifully illustrated -- everyone should own a copy. Miss Rumphius is a gently told picture book fable of a woman passing from early girlhood to old age and how she lived fully in the world and improved it. Without being clobbered on the head with platitudes and moral posturing, the reader is left wondering how he/she can improve the world. A noble sentiment indeed! I was thrilled with the pristine condition of the copy I received from my seller.
