On our river walk today we discovered the new Storywalk! I am so glad to see this. When the grandgirls and their Mom and Dad visited with us in the fall we spent a day at Sloppy Floyd State Park. There on one of the nature walks that have something very similar to this. And down in Bartow County I saw something similar on a walk near an elementary school where I told stories.
This "storywalk" is set up with 24 stations that begin on the riverwalk near the Library and extends to the Ellen Axson Wilson statue at the Town Green and back. Each station holds one two-page spread of a children's picture book. Each month the book is swapped out for another one. So as you walk the mile or so with a child you read the book. When you reach the 24th station you can pick up a form and swap it for a prize at the children's library. I look forward to sharing a "storywalk" with my grandgirls the next time they are here!

We ran into Nancy & Scott Self and enjoyed catching up with the doings of their children and grandchildren and telling them about ours.
