Central Okanagan Story Walks
MAY 6-16, 2022
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. 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 down to Cameron Park, 2340 Aberdeen St, Kelowna during the week of May 6th-16th and view our newest story: Elliot’s Pond written by Michael Buffie and illustrated by Sara Passarini and Aimee Parker.
When an accident results in the loss of his lily pad, Elliot must find a new place to spend the night. After his friends refuse to help, it seems like Elliot is out of options. Will the messy outcast Ned prove to be his angel in disguise? Join Elliot, Ned, Bernard, and Florence as they explore themes of sharing and acceptance. Readers may find out that true friendship is not based on appearances, but actions!
