Come out to Token Creek County Park for a self-guided StoryWalk® featuring “The Kissing Hand” By: Audrey Penn.

StoryWalk starts at the main office and loops around shelter #1 at Token Creek.

Here is the story of a little raccoon who confronts the first day of school and needs reassurance. Mother Raccoon finds an unforgettable way of communicating the message that everyone most needs to hear. The perfect book for any child taking the plunge into school, endearing illustrations are as soothing as the simple story.School is starting in the forest, but Chester Raccoon does not want to go. To help ease Chester’s fears, Mrs. Raccoon shares a family secret called “the Kissing Hand” to give him the reassurance of her love any time his world feels a little scary.

As part of the Healthy Parks, Healthy You initiative with the Foundation for Dane County Parks, Dean Health Plan, and SSM Health we will be featuring a Traveling StoryWalk® that will be located at a different Dane County Park each month.

StoryWalk is available to walk or snowshoe daily dawn until dusk.
