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.
December StoryWalk®:
Winter is here but there is no reason to not come take a walk at the Arboretum and enjoy this month's StoryWalk® selection, The Mitten written by Jan Brett. This bestselling modern classic follows a young boy and the snowy adventure of his lost mitten. The illustrations bring each woodland creature to life and you can follow the young boy on his adventure on each page even though his mitten's adventure takes center stage. A true classic.
