Downtown Issaquah Story Stroll™ Apple Pie Picnic
ISSAQUAH, Wash., October 10 – October 31 – The Downtown Issaquah Association celebrates its latest Story Stroll™ “edutainment” program along with the Issaquah Library with the fanciful, heartwarming bilingual book “Apple Pie Picnic” written by Alicia Duran & illustrated by Brian Fitzgerald.
The Story Stroll™ features Rosa and her family, who live in a house in the country where an apple tree grows. With short stanzas, interspersed with occasional vocabulary in Spanish, we journey through the year and witness the tree as it changes and develops fruit. We discover what makes the tree grow strong and how the flowers are pollinated. Eventually, the apples are fully grown and ready to be picked.
Each page will be displayed prominently in business windows along Front Street starting at the Issaquah Library on Sunset Way from October 10th through October 31st.
Champions of literacy and visual arts, the Downtown Issaquah Association, and the King County Issaquah Library, host strolls at least twice a year.
“Our Story Strolls celebrate literacy, diverse perspectives, and have always been one of the most popular programs for residents, school children, and visitors from all over the Eastside,” said DIA President Christina Bruning.
There is a grandparent/grandchild relationship lovingly portrayed. This book has so many dimensions to it. Great to use when studing all the foods of the fall harvest
Amazon Books Review: “This is a lovely story for reading aloud and sharing information about apple trees and how they grow.”
