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.
February StoryWalk:
February is a month where we celebrate love and friendship. This month's StoryWalk selection, Frank and Bert written by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros, is an entertaining story about two friends that love to play hide-and-seek. One friend seems to win every time and recognizes the chance to win again or make his friend happy. What choice will he make? Will he learn that friendship is always the winner? Come take a walk along the StoryWalk trail and find out.
