Have you ever read the childrens’ book, Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney? Well, I have, many times. This beautiful story was given to my son when he was just a baby by a sweet woman named Daphne. She inscribed some loving words in it, and it became a part of our family, helping to shape my son into the big-hearted fellow that he is now. That is the power of a book, it can imprint on your soul, strengthening your foundation. In this book, we read and hear the message that a young girl’s grandfather shares with her, “You must do something to make the world more beautiful”.
