On the first Tuesday of each month, stories come alive on the StoryWalk with South Berkshire Kids! Families are invited to gather at the top of the StoryWalk trail for a lively read-aloud, then grab a seat at the craft table for a hands-on activity or continue the adventure by exploring The Mount’s trails and colorful gardens.
Our 2026 book selections for the StoryWalk:
JUNE | Grandmother Moon, written by Wunneanatsu Lamb-Cason, illustrated by Trisha B. Waters
JULY | Rus and Moose, written and illustrated by Chuchu Wang
AUGUST | Baby Ballena, written by Ben Gundersheimer, illustrated by Marcos Almada Rivero
SEPTEMBER | Willow and the Storm, written by Ethan Tapper, illustrated by Frances Cannon
South Berkshire Kids supports coordinated family and community engagement through enriching and educational activities for children up to five years of age. South Berkshire Kids is brought to you by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).Â
IMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION:
- This program is designed for youth ages 0-5, accompanied by their grown-ups. Thanks to South Berkshire Kids, Storytime programs are free and open to the public; registration is not required.
- StoryTime begins at a gathering area near The Mount’s Ticket Booth, then continues along the StoryWalk trail—a wide, gently sloped woodchip path through the woods. Most strollers can navigate the trail with ease. Please be mindful of the weather and plan accordingly!
- In the event of poor weather, StoryTime will be moved indoors to the Stable Auditorium. Please check in at the Ticket Booth when you arrive to receive any updates about the location of this program.
- All StoryWalk titles are available to purchase from The Mount Gift & Bookstore.
