StoryWalks

Books in nature? What a novel idea! A walk in the park takes on a new meaning with StoryWalks.

StoryWalks are an innovative and interactive experience, encouraging readers of all ages to enjoy a story and the outdoors. Pages from a children’s picture book are displayed along an outdoor path in a park, garden, or other outdoor setting. As participants walk along the path, they see the next pages in the story.

StoryWalks engage young readers and are an excellent way to practice reading, with special activities highlighted with the story. StoryWalks encourage your family to enjoy the beauty of nature, a good story, and quality time together.

StoryWalks engage young readers and is a great way to practice Active Reading skills with special activities highlighted along the story.
