The Library's new StoryWalk title is now on display at the French Art Colony.
Our title for September is A Fall Ball for All written by Jamie A. Swenson and illustrated by Chiara Fedele.
It's time for the Windfall Ball!
All the animals in the forest receive invitations to the Windfall Ball. It is time to celebrate the end of autumn with all their friends.
As the fall winds blow -- "Gusts and gales and tempest forces / set a fete with seven courses: / cranberries, chestnuts, corn and plums / sunflowers, daises, chrysanthemums."
The animals began gathering the bountiful harvest for the harsh winter ahead.
As the animals make one last toast, they are now prepared for the winter and looking forward to next year's Windfall Ball.

StoryWalk is a way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children's books. Follow the pages of the story as you walk from frame to frame along the path. StoryWalk promotes literacy, physical activity, and parent/caregiver involvement.
The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. StoryWalk is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
