SEARSPORT — Carver Memorial Library and Friends of Sears Island are collaborating on another summer StoryWalk® for children to enjoy along the Homestead Trail on Sears Island. As families walk along the woods path, they will find posts with laminated pages of the book “You Are Never Alone”, written by Elin Kelsey and illustrated by Soyeon Kim.
This book is written to appeal to kids ages 4-8, but will be enjoyed by all ages, particularly for the way it explores the deep connection between humans and nature, as well as its unique diorama illustrations. While reading this story along the trail, families will have ample opportunity to ponder big ideas introduced by the book and consider the many ways that different aspects of our world work together to support our lives.
The StoryWalk® will be available from July 20 to Aug. 24, and directions to the start of the story can be found by the kiosk just beyond the island gate. From start to finish, the story will cover approximately a half mile of the trail. Sears Island is located off of Route 1 on Sears Island Road, just east of downtown Searsport.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
