This season, one of your favorite trails doubles as a storybook! Wander the Egg Lawn Signature Trail and read a children’s book page by page as you go. Each stop includes a new part of the story and fun activities. StoryWalk® is FREE, self-guided, and four different books will be featured across four weekends in 2026. Come out, explore, and enjoy reaching in the fresh air!

The Winter StoryWalk® is free and open to all from dawn to dusk. It will open on Friday, January 23rd, and close on Sunday, January 25th. Our Featured Story is Lost and Found by Kate Banks and Galia Bernstein. 

Story Synopsis: A story of woodland creatures discovering a lost doll is transformed into the perfect parable of love in this sweet, timeless picture book for fans of Corduroy and The Velveteen Rabbit. The wood mouse and the rabbit find a rag doll in the woods. Nothing about it is familiar: it doesn’t smell like the fresh air of spring or feel like the rough bark of a tree. As the group of animals grows and searches for a clue to where the doll came from, they encounter more mysteries—and discover the one thing their hearts know to be true. Whether between parent and child, siblings, or friends, this beautifully illustrated story is about the way we show one another how much we care.

StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children’s book are attached to temporary signs, which are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you’re directed to the next page in the story. On the back of the signs, you will find more information and activity prompts. StoryWalks® have been installed in 50 states and 13 countries. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
