WORLD MORE BEAUTIFUL ...

I loved learning about her journey to becoming a picture book illustrator and how she broke all the rules (and also was told by an editor that she lacked color sense)!

Cheers for #MissRumphius! Provided that species is native and not invasive 😬

It is lupine season in New England.

A good time to celebrate Miss Rumphius and its message - "you must do something to make the world more beautiful."

Curious to see how you're all making this world better!
