COVID-19 update:
PopUp offers an opportunity that takes learning outside of the 4-walled classroom.  When social distancing is a priority to flatten the curve, families can experience an outdoor learning adventure together. 

PopUp Storywalk is currently installed at Wilburton Hill park connecting to Bellevue Botanical Gardens.  We are planning to stay installed as long as we can, while following the guidance of the parks department, the CDC and local public health departments.  Please use your own judgement in keeping your family safe and healthy as well as follow the CDC and WHO recommendations about social distancing and hand washing! 

We will update this page as quickly as possible with changes to our popup location or early uninstallation if necessary.  Also follow our facebook and instagram for up to date information.   


PopUp StoryWalk is a local program promoting literacy, health, and art appreciation using deconstructed children’s storybooks installed in outdoor community spaces. Begin a children’s story at the start of a trail, read posted pages along the way, and end the trial as you end the book.


​Get Outdoors! Get Reading!


​

PopUp StoryWalk rotates between book selections, inspiring families to follow our installations and experience a featured book in a new location.  You can enjoy a new outdoor adventure with each PopUp Storywalk installation.
We choose books that illustrate the themes of nature, combined with lessons of kindness, empathy and creativity.  We are also collaborating and choosing books with local authors and illustrator's.  

Our current series includes 4 new selections!!  
  • "The Water Princess" written by Susan Verde
  • "Fox and the Bike Ride" written by Corey Tabor
  • "The Bears Song" written by Benjamin Chaud
  • "Tiny, Perfect Things" written by M.H. Clark
We will be popping up with these books and a few new ones throughout the summer.       Where will be pop up next???

2018/2019 summer series:
  • "Bunnies!!!"  Written by Kevan Atteberry
  • "The Bear and the Piano" Written by David Litchfield
  • "Yellow Kayak" Written by Nina Laden

​We did this on Saturday and it was magical! We were alone on the trail, sun shining, fall leaves were quietly falling.
A moment I will cherish in my memories. – Sherry Nadeau
