"This was on of my favorite books when I was a kid. I rediscovered it recently and am beginning to realize how much it really affected me. Aside from having a sweet and endearing title character, this book has a important message that I feel all children should hear at some point in their young lives. Traveling the world and having adventures is all well and good but what really matters is making the lives of those around you just a little bit brighter. Miss Rumphius reminds me to appreciate the beauty in life and I hope it will do the same for you."
