Central Okanagan Story Walks

NOVEMBER 17th-27th, 2023

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 Street, Kelowna during the week of November 17th-27th and view the sweet and yummy story: Blueberries written by Dr. Kimberly Brayman and illustrated by Natalia Zubets.

Atreus is a toddler who doesn’t have the words to tell his mama what he wants for breakfast. She brings him many things totry, but they aren’t right.What Atreus craves is frozen, yummy, crunchy, juicy blueberries. No matter how hard he thinks it, she doesn’t bring them. Will his mama figure it out? Will Atreus get what he loves to eat?
