I am curious to know if anyone else is acquainted with the picture book "Miss Rumphius". Ever since I took a storytelling class in my first undergraduate career, I have been drawn to children's literature. This title is one that captured my interest--both for the story and for the illustrations. I will try to insert a picture that I found on Flickr which relates to the story.
It worked! For more information on the lupin see the link in
wikipedia.

Sorry, I've never heard of the book. What's the story?
The Alice record gives a good summary of the story. Of course, as with all good stories and picture books, a brief synopsis simply can't capture the real impact of the book.
I guess I like it because it shows a girl's life and how she found a way to make the world a more beautiful place. Plus she spent some time as a librarian!
