The canal walkway trail in Osoyoos has a fun new addition with story boards installed for people to enjoy a story while taking a walk outdoors. 

Jeffrey Bennett’s story “Max Goes to the Space Station” is displayed on boards along the walkway for kids (and folks of all ages) to read, adding a new experience for the popular Osoyoos walking trail. 

The story is a prequel to the other books in Bennett’s Science Adventures with Max the Dog series, which follows Max on his trip to the International Space Station where he shares in the adventures of astronaut life and helps save everyone from a potential disaster along the way.

“Max Goes to the Space Station” aims to help kids see the planet in a different way and teaches them how to improve the world we live in. Alongside the story, there are also a number of sidebars with science facts and interesting information. 

StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
