A beautiful story about leaving the world a little better than you found it and doing what you set out to do in life. Barbara Cooney's illustrations are breathtaking.

A book about a family legacy of making the world more beautiful. My boys (6,4) and girl (2) really like this book. In an entitled world where kids are brought up thinking they are owed everything and work for nothing, this is a classic about doing what you can to make the world around you better than you found it. Beautiful illustrations.
