A beloved classic—written by a beloved Caldecott winner—is lovelier than ever! Barbara Cooney's story of Alice Rumphius, who longed to travel the world, live in a house by the sea, and do something to make the world more beautiful, has a timeless quality that resonates with each new generation. The countless lupines that bloom along the coast of Maine are the legacy of the real Miss Rumphius, the Lupine Lady, who scattered lupine seeds everywhere she went. Miss Rumphius received the American Book Award in the year of publication. To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of two-time Caldecott winner Barbara Cooney's best-loved book, the illustrations have been reoriginated, going back to the original art to ensure state-of-the-art reproduction of Cooney's exquisite artwork. The art for Miss Rumphius has a permanent home in the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.

(Haunting and dreamlike, this picture book describes the s...)
Haunting and dreamlike, this picture book describes the strange-splendid and plum-purple things that can happen on a night when the sky is like lace. When the Sky Is Like Lace was named one of the New York Times Outstanding Books of the Year when it was first published in 1975. The Times' reviewer called it "... a haunting book, an original creation which survives on the power of its mood. Imaginative children with their own night fantasies may well blend this vision with their dreams." On a night on which anything, you think, can and indeed will happen, three girls venture out to listen to otters sing, eat spaghetti with pineapple sauce, and watch trees dance. Horwitz' text is just as innovative as it was forty years ago, complete with invented words and nouns put to use as verbs ("trees eucalyptus back and forth"). Barbara Cooney's paintings complete the magic, using wispy and playful watercolors, a lesser-known and softer style than used in some of her more well-known books. Islandport Press is thrilled to be reissuing this treasure, a favorite of children and one requested by librarians everywhere.
