We are thrilled to partner with The Central Okanagan Early Years Partnership (COEYP) in the organization of the Central Okanagan Story Walks. These Story Walks occur multiple times a year for one week. During the week of November 15th – 25th, 2024 children’s books are set up in various parks around the Central Okanagan for families to enjoy. The story pages will be located around the park in page order for a self-guided tour. Stroll through the park to enjoy the story for a fun-filled family experience!
Head to Julia’s Junction, 2569 May Street, West Kelowna starting November 15th and view the very special story: An Ant Named Miko written & illustrated by Reece Farkash.
Underneath our very eyes is a world that is easily overlooked. Tiny creatures are having adventures every day. If we take the time and watch carefully, we can get a glimpse into their wonderful world.
This book follows a plain-looking ant named Miko. Miko realises that everyone, and even every ant, has something that tells them apart. Miko wants to found out what that is for himself.
