Story Walk at Lake Wilderness Arboretum

There's a new story up at the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Story Walk! A new month, a new book. This month’s book called Thank You Omu!, talks about sharing and being thankful- good thoughts for a month that includes a holiday focused on thankfulness.

The Lake Wilderness Arboretum and Maple Valley Library have partnered together to bring a StoryWalk® to Maple Valley. StoryWalk® is an innovative approach to encouraging people of all ages to get out and walk while enjoying wonderful children’s books. With her wealth of experience, Sharon Chastain, the children’s librarian at the Maple Valley Library, selects the best children’s books for the project. Then the pages are installed in frames along the Arboretum’s Main Looping Trail so as you walk, you can read the book one page at a time, all while enjoying being outside. Our hope is that this feature will provide children a new way to see, learn and experience the amazing world that we live in.
