Napa StoryWalk®
Join us on this outdoor reading adventure!
Join us for the fourth annual Napa StoryWalk® in four of our most popular Napa County parks this summer! See below for details about the special summer kids’ art workshop at Skyline Park on July 19th!
What is the Napa StoryWalk®?
StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for families to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. We’ve created a living art installation and placed pages from the book My Colors, My World, authored by Maya Christina Gonzalez along a walking path in your favorite parks to help kids get outside to enjoy nature and reading together. Take a walk and enjoy the park, the outdoors, and this wonderful book about our relationship to nature.
How to Join in on the Fun:
The Napa StoryWalk® will be on display in four of our favorite parks this summer for everyone to enjoy!
