STEP INTO A STORYWALK® ADVENTURE

Follow the path and read the pages as your family embarks on an active journey through Livingston County StoryWalks.

Great Start Livingston is excited to bring StoryWalks to Livingston County. A StoryWalk is a literacy-boosting project which places an illustrated children’s book, taken apart and displayed spread-by-spread, along a walking route. The StoryWalk also encourages physical activity. Families will enjoy various parks throughout the community and will find various activities you can do as you move from page to page. We invite you to explore the StoryWalks and Reading Trails in our community.

Some days you wake up and you just gotta wokka. Wokka what? Wokka-wokka! It’s about movement. It’s about dance. It’s about shimmy-shakin’, be-boppin’, and more! It’s about gathering friends and joining the party.

When a girl and her dog set out on a canoe trip together, they’re expecting a quiet afternoon for two. Then a beaver decides to join them, even when the girl protests that “It’s a one-dog canoe.” And when a loon, and a wolf, and a bear, and a moose all ask for a ride, it’s almost too much. But they all manage to fit in this one-dog canoe―until a frog comes along. . . .
