EmBARK on a New Chapter
Inspire young readers in your community with our Storybook Trail signs! Depicting Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, this immersive series of trail signs provides a fun, interactive way to engage kids in reading and the outdoors.
How Storybook Trail Signs Guide Your Community
When strategically located along a walking path, Storybook Trail signs can lead visitors from your outdoor space to your local library—and vice versa! Whether outdoor adventure takes visitors inside or readers travel beyond the page, these trail signs encourage everyone to make the most of community gathering spaces.
Who Can Benefit from Storybook Trail Signs?
Storybook Trail signs are the perfect connection between indoor and outdoor activity. Simple design ensures that these signs may be used on trails or walkways of any length, while easy installation makes them perfect for new or existing paths. Many organizations can benefit from incorporating these signs into their design, including:
• Libraries
• Parks and Recreation
• Children’s Museums
• Schools
• And More!
The Importance of Reading
Reading plays an important role in child development by strengthening skills such as critical thinking, empathy, and communication. By promoting literacy in your outdoor space, you’re not only helping kids build key cognitive skills, but also instilling a lifelong sense of discovery and imagination.
The Perfect Story for All Ages
Because Eric Carle’s works are timeless classics, kids and caregivers can enjoy Storybook Trail signs together. Each sign depicts artwork from The Very Hungry Caterpillar, allowing visitors to follow along and engage with the story in a whole new way.
Customize Your Storybook Trail
Storybook Trail signs may be customized to suit your community’s needs. Individual signs may feature braille for those with visual impairments—making them a great way to add inclusion to your outdoor space—while the welcome sign may feature a QR code that leads to a site for more information, library donations, etc.
Partners in Play
Storybook Trail signs were developed through our partnership with The World of Eric Carle, a design-driven licensing and merchandising program based on the picture books by Eric Carle. Together, we’re bringing the beloved children’s stories to life, inspiring kids of all ages and abilities to imagine and grow a little more each day.
