What is a StoryWalk®?
A StoryWalk® is a fun, educational activity that combines reading a children’s book with a walk outdoors.
Pages from a picture book are displayed on signs along a trail, park path, or in another public space. Families are invited to walk along the route and stop at each station to read the story page by page.
The Bedford Hills Free Library StoryWalk® is presented in partnership with the Town of Bedford Recreation and Parks Department.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
In uplifting verse and sumptuous artwork, beloved creators Matt de la Peña and Corinna Luyken explore the endless possibilities each child contains: A young dancer may grow into a computer coder; a basketball player might become a poet; a class clown may one day serve as an inspiring teacher; and today’s quiet empath might be tomorrow’s great leader. Here’s an uplifting new classic with an empowering message for readers of all ages: Your story is still being written.
This is displayed in English and Spanish in partnership with the Bedford Hills Business Association. Book pages are viewable in the downtown area in business windows.
