Go on a StoryWalk! Read along the trail
Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert
Learning is fun while discovering one of the most beautiful ecosystems in the world! The book featured in this StoryWalk® is Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert.
With a simple, rhyming text and glorious color-drenched collage, Lois Ehlert provides clear answers to these and other questions as she follows the life cycle of four common butterflies, from their beginnings as tiny hidden eggs and hungry caterpillars to their transformation into full-grown butterflies.
Perfect for a StoryWalk® during Lupine Fest!
Read a book in a whole new way
The StoryWalk® will be set up along part of the Karner Barrens blue trail located behind the Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center. A StoryWalk® is a great way to explore the trails. It is also an exciting and different way to read a book.
A StoryWalk® is a fun, educational activity that showcases the pages of a children's book along a popular walking route.Walk, jump or skip from page to page as you read along the trail.
The StoryWalk® Project was originally created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
A great activity for young kids!
