StoryWalk® Event – June 2025

June 1 @ 1:30 pm 3:00 pm

The June StoryWalk® event celebrates Summer—and our furry, four-legged friends—dogs!

The book is Being a Dog: A Tail of Mindfulness by Maria Gianferrari. Simply be like a dog with this irresistible picture book that introduces readers to mindfulness. Illustrated by #1 New York Times bestselling artist Pete Oswald.

In the story, we join a young child and their dog as they experience every minute of the day to its fullest—from the second they wake up to the moment they fall asleep. Readers will love barking, wagging, and sniffing along with the gentle cues in the book. 

About the author: Maria Gianferrari is a picture book reader/writer, dog lover, and bird nerd. She writes books that honor our bonds with creatures both domestic and wild and that celebrate the natural world around us. She lives with her family in Massachusetts, where deer, coyotes, bobcats, bears, and wild turkeys pass through her backyard.
