Endearing timeless classic. I love this artful treasure!! Shared with my children when they were young, now it's time to pass on the treasure of adventure, generosity, beauty, and Lupines to my grandchildren.Miss Rumphius is a delightful character, an auntie mentor for all the world's children - young and old - to encourage us all to follow our dreams, be daring and bold, travel and explore.

I like this book. It tells the story of Great Aunt Alice known as the Lupine lady. She wanted to travel - very smart and she wanted to live by the sea. He father told her that was very well, but she also needed to do something to make the world a more beautiful place.

There's a universe of possibilities about that shadow. It could be bad or it could be the end of the world. It was his stomach, it turns out. He had a hiatal hernia: the hole for his esophagus was too big. His stomach, and most of his intestines, had slipped up around his lungs. All things considered, this is a fixable problem. Over the next year, he
I loved this book, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. However, it's hard to still give it 5-stars now that I know lupines are invasive species and considered weeds in many countries.

What NATIVE species would your child plant to beautify the world? Also, of course, we can still brainstorm other ways to make the world more beautiful...
