StoryPath returns to the Seawalk June 4 – 24

CBJ Parks & Recreation is partnering with Juneau Public Libraries to bring StoryPath back to the Overstreet Park Seawalk this June. Over the course of three weeks, three books by Alaskan writers or illustrators will be featured in a series of outdoor story walks, with framed storybook pages displayed along the Seawalk for families to read as they stroll. The featured stories include Raven and the Hidden Halibut (June 4–10), adapted from a story by Tlingit Culture, Language, & Literacy students and illustrated by Nick Alan Foote; Alaska is for the Birds! (June 11–17), written by Susan Ewing and illustrated by Evon Zerbetz; and When You See Flukes (June 18–24), written by Kathy Hocker and Cheryl Cook and illustrated by Kathy Hocker. A special bonus for the first StoryPath includes an accompanying Lingít audio book, courtesy of Sealaska Heritage Institute. StoryPath encourages reading, physical activity, and outdoor exploration.
