StoryWalk at Magnolia Farmers Market

Three StoryWalks® in Seattle's beautiful Magnolia neighborhood invite children and caregivers to read and enjoy books by Indigenous authors as they wander outdoor trails.

This is the fifth year of "StoryWalks in Magnolia" project with Daybreak Star Preschool and Magnolia Farmers Market. And this year, we partnered with the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library (WTBBL) and all books are transcribed into Braille. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to learn more about Indigenous culture and traditions and it's a great activity for summer!

The StoryWalks® are located outside partner locations including the Daybreak Star Preschool, the Magnolia Farmers' Market (Saturdays 10 a.m.–2 p.m.), and the Magnolia Branch. Daybreak Star Preschool teachers chose the featured books, all by Indigenous authors, to reflect the 'Since Time Immemorial' curriculum to help connect the public to Seattle’s urban Native community.
