A Little More Beautiful: The Story of a Garden

IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Gold Winner

A story about seeing and being seen that leaves the world a little more beautiful.

Sly as a fox and swift as a bird, Lou Alice is determined to leave each day a little more beautiful than she found it. But when she moves away from her little house, no one in town notices she's gone. No one, that is, except a little girl, who sets out to carry on Lou Alice's work. But doing so is not enough.

Can the girl find a way of her own to make the world a little more beautiful?

For readers who love Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney or The Library by Sarah Stewart and David Small.
