Discover the Magic of "Miss Rumphius" in June's StoryWalk® at Porter Memorial Library

For the month of June, the StoryWalk® at Porter Memorial Library in Machias will feature the award-winning children’s book, “Miss Rumphius,” by Barbara Cooney. Readers of all ages delight in the tale of Alice Rumphius, a woman who realized her childhood dreams of traveling the world, residing in a seaside house, and making the world more beautiful. The numerous lupines blooming along the Maine coastline stand as a testament to the real Miss Rumphius, Hilda Hamlin, known as the Lupine Lady, who sowed lupine seeds wherever she went, as well as Cooney's own experiences traveling the world.
