Secure a Fully Designed StoryWalk®
Curious City’s beautifully designed StoryWalk® panels (see slideshows below) feature each spread of a picture book with a companion reader engagement prompt. Each StoryWalk is customized to thank your sponsors and deliver community messages.
Curious City StoryWalks are now managed by our longtime collaborators at Banacom Sign in South Portland, Maine. Nicole and Jeff at Banacom Sign (contact form below) will work with you to:
* Select a StoryWalk from our collection of picture books (slideshows below)
* Create a community profile to secure publisher permission
* Secure publisher permission for you to print and display the StoryWalk in your community for at least 5 years
* Select a StoryWalk size that fits your sign holders and/or advise on ideas for display
* Customize the opening and closing signs of StoryWalk to thank your sponsors and offer community messaging
* Prepare your files for printing
For the above project, Banacom Sign charges $600 post-project.
Discounts available for multiple stories purchased at once.
