StoryWalk ® Trail Program: Something Spectacular: A Rock's Journey by Carmela Lavigna Coyle

Join Frank B. Koller Library Director Callie as we reveal the latest story along StoryWalk Trail, Something Spectacular: A Rock's Journey by Carmela Coyle. This book takes readers on an epic journey through time. Through ice ages, meteor showers, and earthquakes, readers experience the formation of an ancient treasure. Meanwhile, somewhere in the present, a little girl sets out on a hike with her family.

The two parallel stories collide when the little girl finds something SPECTACULAR on the side of a trail—a treasure forged over the course of hundreds of MILLIONS of years all leading to this very moment—the discovery of a precious heart rock.  Illustrated with Carly Allen-Fletcher's lush and vivid paintings, Something Spectacular is a geologic adventure with heart and wonder. The perfect book for rockhounds young and old. 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 great for kids aged 4-7 – parents are asked to stay with their children and participate. 

Please register the child/children names only.  Registration is required by 7/15/25.  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 Teal Cabin at the Discovery Center.   Wednesday 10 AM - 11 AM.
