For those of you with young children, or for those of you who are Emily Dickinson aficianados, please consider doing the StoryWalk/Letterbox combo that I planted today. For more information about what a StoryWalk is, see:

Our spring StoryWalk is in honor of National Poetry Month and features nursery rhymes as well as Emily Dickinson poems about nature.

Beyond the StoryWalk is the added reward of a letterbox.

Have fun!

Did this with my kids tonight and it was wonderful!!! Thank you, HarmonyMA!

Thanks for posting this! I would love to do this with my kids. We enjoy letterboxing (well, at least one of them does! all three do on a good day!) AND I encourage them to be bookworms.

We actually have a children's book about Emily Dickinson, that one of my kids picked out at the OSV gift shop last year, the same day that we found a stamp you planted there. :) I'll have to find it & reread it to them before we embark on this adventure!!

Oh, wait - we didn't find the one you planted in Sturbridge. I knew I recognized your name, but got the boxes mixed up. The one you planted is right next to the pub where we always eat when we're in Sturbridge, but we're never there at the right time!
