Book Description

As a child Great-aunt Alice Rumphius resolved that when she grew up she would go to faraway places, live by the sea in her old age, and do something to make the world more beautiful - and she does all those things, that last being the most difficult of all. This beautiful children's book is a treasure for adults and children alike. Growing along with Miss Rumphius, children are inspired to do something to "make the world more beautiful" and find that it may be the smallest things that make a remarkable difference.
