What is StoryWalk® ?
A StoryWalk® is a book that has been taken apart and presented page by page around a path to promote reading, exercise, and family time. As you walk along the trail, you will find 20 posts, each displaying a page of the story! Stroll along the path, take your time, ask questions, and enjoy the story and nature.
