How many of you remember the award-winning, children’s classic Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney? In this now famous story of the Lupine Lady, a young Alice promises her grandfather that she will do three things in life: go to faraway places, live beside the sea in her old age, and “do something to make the world more beautiful.”
