The Mattapoisett Land Trust has opened a new story walk at Dunseith Park located at the corner of Route 6 and North Street. This latest installation meanders through the three-acre park, which includes a stream and stonewall features along with its well-groomed trail system.
The book that will be featured is titled Goodnight Spaceman and it is authored by Michelle Robinson and artist Nick East. It is one in a series of “Goodnight” books Robinson has written. This one asks the viewer to imagine being on the Spaceship Earth and all the marvelous mysteries of space that surrounds us. There are 32 panels stationed around the park in a beginning to end sequence that is geared towards children of all ages but would especially appeal to youngsters 2 to 5 years of age. Included on some pages are activities the families can do at home.
MLT Education Chairman Ellen Flynn said, “…it’s been about a year and a half since we had a story walk at the park.” She explained that trail improvements were necessitated by storm damage.
With the new story walk ready to be enjoyed by families looking for new ways to not only entertain their young children in a safe space, but also provide educational opportunities.
