Storywalk – January/February
Once Upon a Winter Day
Written and Illustrated by Liza Woodruff
Milo wants a story, but his mom is too busy with her own work to read him one. “Why don’t you go outside and play,” she suggests.
Stepping out into the yard, Milo notices tiny footprints of a mouse in the snow and embarks upon an adventure.
Following the footprints, Milo discovers evidence of other creatures that live in the forest. Each time, Milo tries to imagine what each animal was doing in the snow.
When it is finally time to go home, Milo now has a story to tell his mother.
What stories can you find on your winter walk?
See if you can find the mouse on each page!
