Welcome to our StoryWalk®
What is a StoryWalk®?
A StoryWalk® is a fun and educational activity that places a children's story (literally a book taken apart) along a walking route in the community. This lets you read a story with your family while you walk!
How does it work?
Walk and read. It is that simple. Follow the story signs along the path and read as you go. Each sign will have a different page of the story.
The StoryWalk® will move around each year and
may change stories so keep an eye on our website for details.

When Mouse finds herself on the high seas with an interesting crew of pirates, she begins to worry that she has made a terrible mistake. "This is not what I planned or how it should be, I should be on a cruise ship relaxing at sea." It doesn't take long however for the tables to turn and for everyone - including Mouse - to see that she was exactly where she was meant to be. This story is full of adventure, courage, lovable characters, and valuable lessons.
Children can develop the ability to respond to their emotions in a healthy way through the practice of mindfulness. Andy Gets Angry is a great introduction for children to learn a fun and simple breath technique to respond to their emotions. The beautifully hand-painted illustrations provide the perfect landscape to tell the story of Andy and his journey in learning the wonderful skill of mindfulness. Share the book with your loved ones, and help us all plant the seed to be present!
