New StoryWalk® in the Foothills

A new StoryWalk® book has been installed at Jacobson Preserve in Wenatchee! Walk the beginning of the trail to read "You Are Part of the Wonder" by Ruth Doyle and Britta Teckentrup.

About the book: 

Meditative and enchanting, this beautifully illustrated picture book encourages us to explore, connect, and find wonder in nature.

"A lovely invitation to children to see themselves as part of the larger world around them." Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

There's a bird outside your window
with a song that's full of sky,
and it wonders why you stay inside
when you are free to fly?

You Are Part of the Wonder is a tranquil celebration of nature, mindfulness, and joy.

About StoryWalk®:

StoryWalk® is a book that is presented page by page along a trail, bike path or in-store windows to promote reading and exercise. The Jacobson StoryWalk® was created as part of a partnership between NCW Libraries and the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust and is part of a national effort to foster a greater appreciation for nature and literacy.

Location: 

To reach the Jacobson trailhead, follow Western Avenue until it becomes Canyon Number 2 Road, then turn left onto Skyline Drive. In about 500 feet, the road takes a sharp left and Jacobson Preserve sits above that curve. Park in the Wenatchee Racket and Athletic Club parking lot, in designated spots along the fence.
