Visit the Storywalk at the Belfast City Park

The story is read by stopping at 16 stands placed along the loop trail.

 Start the book at the bridge near the playground and then head toward the ocean for the next page.

 This STORYWALK installation is year round and the content is brought to you by your Belfast Free Library and City Parks and Recreation.
