Our Summer 2025 StoryWalk is up! Visit the Memorial Park Fitness Trail and enjoy Extraordinary Jane by Hannah E. Harrison!
Jane is an ordinary dog in an extraordinary circus. She isn’t strong, graceful, or brave like her family. When she tries to be those things, Jane just doesn’t feel like herself, but she also doesn’t feel special. Is she really meant for this kind of life? Her Ringmaster thinks so, but not for the reasons Jane believes.
Ordinary can be extraordinary!
Learn more about StoryWalks and get some ideas for additional activities.
