Written by Rashmi Sirdeshpande and illustrated by Diane Ewen, the book won the 2022 Anna Dewdney Read Together Award.

Warner Circle Park is located at 10231 Carroll Pl, Kensington, MD, across the street from the Noyes Children’s Library. Celebrating books and the power of imagination, Never Show a T-Rex a Book hits all the right notes for a back-to-school StoryWalk® as it follows the “supremely silly” possibilities when a T-Rex learns to read. Related crafts and resources are also available online at www.noyeslibraryfoundation.org/events.

Families can read this inspiring book on panels placed on the historic grounds of Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park, at 16501 Norwood Rd., Sandy Spring, MD from June 11– July 3, 2022.
On Saturday, June 18 from 10am to 4pm and Sunday, June 19 from 12pm to 4pm, visitors to Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park can explore the StoryWalk®, pick up a children’s take-home activity in the Visitor Center (while supplies last), and explore the Woodlawn Museum free of charge. Visit WoodlawnManor.org for more information. Before She Was Harriet details the life of Harriet Tubman, beginning with Tubman as an older woman and moving backwards chronologically. The author outlines Tubman’s many roles: a suffragist, a boatman who ferried slaves across the Combahee River, a Union spy, a nurse for soldiers, a savior who helped her parents flee from slavery, a conductor on the Underground Railroad, an enslaved woman named Minty, and finally a young enslaved girl named Araminta. While Harriet Tubman was not active in this part of Maryland, the award-winning book pays tribute to this Maryland native and true American hero through a powerful poem and exquisite watercolor paintings by Cline-Ransome’s husband, artist James Ransome. Related crafts and resources are also available online at www.noyeslibraryfoundation.org/events.

Families are invited to read the bilingual picture book on posted signs at Clum-Kennedy Park at 10298 Frederick Avenue, Kensington, MD 20895, from May 7 – June 5, 2022. This StoryWalk is presented in partnership with the Town of Kensington in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Older Americans Month.
The award-winning Dumplings for Lili is a “heartfelt picture book celebration of food, community and family – and little dumpling treasures from around the world.” The book is a multi-cultural culinary trip through an apartment building where six different grandmothers are making their culture’s version of dumplings – and each is missing an ingredient. Lili heads out to borrow cabbage for Nai Nai’s baos, and ends up racing up and down the stairs delivering necessities to all of the cooks. Hint – don’t read this book while you’re hungry! Families are encouraged to share a selfie while at the StoryWalk® or a photo of a completed craft on the Noyes Children’s Library Facebook page (facebook.com/MakeMoreNoyes); post to Facebook and tag the Noyes Children’s Library Foundation, or post to Instagram and tag @makemorenoyes.

Kensington, MD - The Noyes Children’s Library Foundation presents Waiting for the Biblioburro / Esperando el Biblioburro by Monica Brown as its 12th free Noyes StoryWalk. Families are invited to read the bilingual picture book on posted signs at Capitol View-Homewood Local Park at 2929 Edgewood Road, Kensington, MD 20895, behind Oakland Terrace Elementary School, from April 2-May 1, 2022. This StoryWalk is presented in partnership with Montgomery Parks and the Oakland Terrace Elementary School PTA. OTES is a Two-Way Immersion program school, and is celebrating its Spring Reading Festival.
Waiting for the Biblioburro / Esperando el Biblioburro is a story about Ana who loves stories. She often makes them up to help her little brother fall asleep. But in her small village there are only a few books and she has read them all. One morning, Ana wakes up to the clip-clop of hooves, and there before her is the most wonderful sight: a traveling library resting on the backs of two burros-all the books a little girl could dream of, with enough stories to encourage her to create one of her own. Inspired by the heroic efforts of real-life librarian Luis Soriano, award-winning picture book creators Monica Brown and John Parra introduce readers to the mobile library that journeys over mountains and through valleys to bring literacy and culture to rural Colombia, and to the children who wait for the Biblioburro. Families are encouraged to share a selfie while at the StoryWalk® or a photo of a completed craft on the Noyes Children’s Library Facebook page (facebook.com/MakeMoreNoyes); post to Facebook and tag the Noyes Children’s Library Foundation, or post to Instagram and tag @makemorenoyes.
