Hey Kids, Let’s Take A StoryWalk!
The Museum is pleased to announce upcoming StoryWalks for kids of all ages! What is a StoryWalk, you ask? It “is a creative way to engage children in reading while they move. Pages from a children’s book are displayed individually along a path, wall, or fence—turning a simple walk into a fun literacy adventure,” as explained by storybookwalk.com.
