StoryWalk ® Trail Program: Beneath by Cori Doerrfeld

Join Frank B. Koller Library Director Callie as we reveal the latest story along StoryWalk Trail, Beneath by Cori Doerrfeld. Finn is in a horrible mood and doesn't want to talk about it. After some persuading, though, they agree to go for a hike with Grandpa. Throughout their forest walk, they see many different things: big, strong trees with networks of roots growing underneath, still water with schools of fish swimming below, and an expectant bird with eggs nestled under her. It’s when the pair pass fellow hikers that Finn realizes that people, just like the elements of nature, are more than they appear. Grandpa explains that sometimes beneath a person who seems like they won't understand what you’re feeling, is someone feeling the exact same way. This sweet and tender picture book celebrates our similarities, differences, and that there's always more under the surface of what we can see. This is a program that connects literacy and outdoor recreation by placing a children’s nature-themed story out along the trail. We will walk and read the new book together, followed by a fun craft! This program is intended for children ages 4-7. Parents are asked to stay with their children and participate.

Please register the child/children names only. Registration is required by 7/14/26. These programs are free of charge and are sponsored by the Shepherd/Howells Fund and the Frank B. Koller Memorial Library. Participants will meet at the Grand Pavilion at the Discovery Center. Wednesday 10 AM - 11 AM.
