This realistic fiction is a beautiful story about a young girl who makes a promise to her grandfather to do three things: go to faraway places, move back to a place near the sea, and to make the world more beautiful. Throughout her life, Miss. Rumphius completes everything, but as she gets older she realizes there is a third part to the promise she needs to complete. This is about her journey and life and finding her way to make the world more beautiful. The pictures really contribute to the setting of the story as well as developing the character. Because this book has some more advanced messages and more text, I would recommend this books for late first grade through third grade.
