We are excited to Announce the Posting of a New Book along the Bryant-Mamaroneck Storywalk Trail

"Fletcher and the Falling Leaves" written by Julia Rawlinson & illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke is an autumn themed book that involves a fox and a colorful tree. Fletcher the fox is concerned about nature and wants to understand the changing of the seasons. Young readers will share the feelings of wonder and empathy as they curl up with a parent or gather in circle time to enjoy this beautiful picture book. It's fall, and Fletcher's favorite tree is slowly changing colors and losing its leaves. Fletcher worries that something is terribly wrong. He tells the tree he will help, but when the very last leaf falls to the ground, Fletcher feels as though he's let down his friend...until the first day of winter, when Fletcher sees that his tree has turned into a shining, glittering surprise. Do you know what it is? Join Fletcher and find out. . . . Celebrate fall with the sweet and charming Fletcher the fox!

The City of White Plains Recreation and Parks Department, in partnership with the White Plains Public Library, has been pleased to present StoryWalk at Bryant-Mamaroneck Park. The StoryWalk combines a children's story with a popular walking route. Children's books are selected, the pages separated, laminated, and placed along a walking path at regular intervals so readers can follow the story as they walk the route. The StoryWalk is a great opportunity for parents, teachers, and caregivers to provide a fun and healthy activity for young children.

The Bryant-Mamaroneck Park is located on the corner of Bryant and Mamaroneck Avenues.

The park entrance is on the Mamaroneck Avenue side. Parking is available in the City of White Plains Mamaroneck Avenue parking lot (lower level). The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
