Join us for a special pop-up StoryWalk? at Ackerman Park from Saturday, June 6, through Sunday, June 14. This free, family-friendly activity features the beautifully illustrated book Wonder Walkers by Micha Archer. To access the StoryWalk?, please park in the Lenox Road parking lot.
Wonder Walkers ?invites readers to explore the wonders of the natural world through the eyes of two curious children. As they wander through various landscapes, they ask thought-provoking questions about the beauty and mysteries they encounter. With stunning, collage-style artwork and poetic text, the book encourages a deeper connection to nature and sparks the imagination of readers of all ages.
The StoryWalk? at Ackerman Park combines the joy of reading with the benefits of outdoor activity. Pages of Wonder Walkers will be displayed along a designated path, allowing families to read the story while taking a leisurely stroll through the natural area.
