(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—
First Lady Fran DeWine and Ohio Department of Natural Resources
Director Mary Mertz visited Montgomery County and Lorain County
today to unveil two new Storybook Trails that teach children about
the importance of literacy, a healthy lifestyle, and connecting with
nature.
The new trails are located at Sycamore State Park in Brookville and
Findley State Park in Wellington.
“There is nothing better than fresh air and a good book, and Ohio’s
Storybook Trails offer both,” said First Lady DeWine. “A focus on
early literacy can make a world of difference in a child’s life, and
the books featured on these trails were handpicked by the Ohio
Governor’s Imagination Library for their easy-to-understand,
positive narratives.”
"Everyone loves a good story, and science supports the physical and
mental health benefits of getting outside," said ODNR Director Mary
Mertz. "Storybook Trails combine the best of both by promoting child
literacy and an active and healthy lifestyle — all in the beautiful
settings of Ohio's great outdoors."
“Daniel Finds A Poem” by Micha Archer, which tells the story of a
young boy who explores nature and finds poetry in the beauty around
him, was selected for display at Sycamore State Park. “Blue Sky,
White Stars” by Sarvinder Naberhaus is featured at Findley State
Park. The book celebrates the iconic imagery of the United States,
including the American Flag and Statue of Liberty.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with the
Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library and Dolly Parton’s Imagination
Library, launched the Storybook Trail program in 2019. There are
currently eight half-mile Storybook Trails located at state parks
throughout Ohio, each with 15-20 child-height panels featuring pages
of a children’s book and an activity to accompany the text on the
page.
There are currently 286,184 children enrolled in the Ohio
Governor’s Imagination Library, which provides one free book every
month to children enrolled in the program from birth to age five. To

First Lady DeWine will join ODNR to unveil one more Storybook
Trails this week. A full list of ODNR's Storybook Trails, as well as
