As Dr. Seuss once said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
The StoryWalk™ Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC) and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
