I have always been a fan of the book Miss Rumphius.
I know the message may be a bit over their heads, but I like to share it with them all the same. We read the book and talked about how we could make the world a more beautiful place, other than planting flower seeds everywhere. I even shared with them the song Imagine by John Lennon as an example of an attempt at that. Then I asked them to write about what they would do to make the world more beautiful, here are their responses.
