What’s a StoryWalk®
A StoryWalk® takes the pages from a picture book and spaces them along a path creating an interactive and new way to experience reading. Thanks to a generous grant*, we are excited to bring a StoryWalk® to Memorial Park. It begins on the path between the pool and the playground and continues along the walkway until you reach the deck hockey rink.
Featured Book
Our Fall Storywalk will feature Outside In by Deborah Underwood
As trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, and leaves change their colors, everyone knows–autumn is on its way!
Join a young girl as she takes a walk through forest and town, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with every flower and creature and gust of wind, she says good-bye to summer and welcomes autumn.
If you like Good bye Summer, Hello Autumn, check out some suggested books for younger and older kids that celebrate the magic of Fall!
