StoryWalk

Summer 2024 – Macricostas Preserve has a StoryWalk!

This community collaboration between Steep Rock Association, Gunn Memorial Library, and Washington Supply offers a fun and educational outdoor activity for families.  Pages from nature-focused children books are posted on display boards along a short, designated trail.  Books are changed seasonally so be sure to visit each new season.

Summer 2024 Book: Summer Song

Authors: Kevin Henkes
Illustrated by: Laura Dronzek

Bees buzz, birds sing, and children roll in the grass and feel the heat of the summer sun. With striking verbal imagery, repetition, and alliteration, Kevin Henkes introduces basic concepts of language and the summer season. Laura Dronzek’s glowing paintings beautifully illustrate the wonders of summer.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
