StoryWalk at Lake Wilderness Arboretum

Calendar/Event Details

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 this story walk 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.

March StoryWalk®: 

Often the month of March is known for strong weather. Have you ever heard the saying, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb?".  Well, the good part of that weather is that it allows us to enjoy the rain (yes, I said enjoy the rain).  This month's StoryWalk® selection, Let's Go Puddling! by Emma Perry, shows us the thrill of being outdoors no matter what the weather may be doing. There is a joy in jumping in puddles and a sweetness to the snuggles that happen when we go back inside to warm up. So, get outside this month, enjoy the weather (no matter what it does), and appreciate the nature that surrounds us.
