A StoryWalk is an innovative way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children’s book are installed along an outdoor path. The walk begins by the Little Free Library near our south parking lot off of Woodmont Avenue. As you stroll around Faith’s property, you’re directed to the next page in the story.
This installation grew out of our concern for pandemic-related learning loss and is an effort to share our love of reading with our neighbors and kids at our partner school, Walter P. Carter Elementary/Middle.
Visit Faith to read a new book monthly
(Books are installed around the second Saturday of each month)
September’s StoryWalk Book
Aaron Slater, Illustrator
By Andrea Beaty
An uplifting story about the power of art, finding your voice, and telling your story even when you’re out of step with your peers from the #1 bestselling creators of Sofia Valdez, Future Prez and Ada Twist, Scientist!
Aaron Slater loves listening to stories and dreams of one day writing them himself. But when it comes to reading, the letters just look like squiggles to him, and it soon becomes clear he struggles more than his peers. When his teacher asks each child in the class to write a story, Aaron can’t get a single word down. He is sure his dream of being a storyteller is out of reach . . . until inspiration strikes, and Aaron finds a way to spin a tale in a way that is uniquely his.
Enjoy a walk around the grounds as you read this uplifting story about the power of art, finding your voice, and telling your story even when you’re out of step with your peers
