Sleepover Larry StoryWalk in Athens, NY
Hi Mr. Pinkwater,
Our library has started a StoryWalk at our beautiful Riverfront Park on the Hudson River. Â We just installed one of your books, Sleepover Larry. Â I’ve heard you’re often in the Hudson Valley and thought you might like to see how we’re making picture books accessible to kids during this difficult time. Â We are changing out the books a couple of times each month so there’ something new for families to read together. Â The backdrop of our StoryWalk is the beautiful Hudson River.
Be well and Stay safe!

I didn't know exactly what a storywalk is, so I googled and looked at pictures. I think it's a brilliant idea, and I am very much delighted a book of mine (and illustrated by the great Jill) is used in this way. If storywalks become a thing I might like to write something to be used this way on purpose. I have been in and around Athens, NY, and it is a neat town in a neat part of our neat state. Neat library too, apparently.
