- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020This was an absolute favorite for one of my daughters. I would read to them before bedtime and she always chose this book. She was five and was so influenced by the traveling and experiences she proclaimed she was going to travel and never have children ( she was pretty observant , noticing no children on her travels).When miss Rumphius travels back home and collects the seeds and then disperses them through town, she is making her world, her communities world a more beautiful place, I love that the message gets passed along. My daughter collected all our sunflower seeds and sprinkled them on a non maintained walking trail she was 8 or so. unfortunately no flowers grew. She graduates from UCSC this week. Her gift is the famous msg from this book framed and watercolored lupine!, just so happens I found a lupine storage box its so pretty, within the box is a new copy of her childhood book and . things Ive collected along the way. another words this book, the art work and message remained to this day something she loved growing up. it may be meant for children older than 4-5 yrs,but if you have a deep thinker early reader,sensitive too I recommend this book in every childs library. It sends a beautiful message.
