Take a family stroll around Sowams Woods, a safe, scenic one-mile walking loop, and read a book at the same time! Young explorers will have fun spotting the large-format pages of a book posted along the trail. This year, we’re featuring Mushrooms Know: Wisdom From our Friends the Fungi by Kallie George and Sara Gillingham.
A young explorer on a Story Walk in 2022.
This vibrant picture book shares fascinating lessons that fungi teach us all: small can be mighty and being unique is a reason to celebrate. Sara Gillingham’s lively art and Kallie George’s charming text captures the wondrous world of mushrooms, and everything we can learn from them.
This program is held in partnership with the Barrington Public Library.
