Barbara Cooney set her mind to lots of things - none so dear as capturing the beauty of the world in her paintings. These paintings would form the setting for her award-winning picture books, including Miss Rumphius, Roxaboxen and Ox-Cart Man.  Because Barbara follows the story of Barbara's life as she grows from a little girl with a dream into one of the most well-known and well-loved children's picture book illustrators.
