Take a walk in your neighborhood while enjoying a story with StoryWalk®! This year, the featured story is "Your Grandparents are Ninjas" by Anson Montgomery. This program is perfect for families to drop by at their leisure and follow the story signs that will be present at all locations including Ella Sharp Museum, Dahlem Center Playscape, Concord Falling Waters Trailhead and Clark Lake Spirit Trail, coming in April when the trail opens.
Dates: March 1 – May 31. StoryWalk® will be on display at all locations for the entire duration, with the exception of Clark Lake Spirit Trail, which opens in April.
This year’s book is a “Choose Your Own Adventure.” Because of this, you will get to make your own decisions about what happens as the story progresses, and to experience several different endings. A storymap is available to help you navigate.
