The Tale of Bookworm Gardens
Chapter One
there was a lovely little town in Wisconsin named Sheboygan. Now Sheboygan, and its darling neighbors of Kohler, Sheboygan Falls and Plymouth, were filled with children, churches, cheese and chairs, and were wonderful places to raise a family. Schools were exceptional, local businesses thrived, and we enjoyed eating cheese and bratwurst. Lake Michigan kept us all “cooler near the lake.” We were even named the “Best Place to Raise a Family” by Reader’s Digest. When our children weren’t in school or helping on the farm, they were climbing trees, building forts or curled up with a good book. Life was wonderful.
Then over the course of time, families got busier and busier, and the children didn’t have time to play outdoors as much. Reality TV replaced real life adventure and reading for many, and playing computer games became the most popular pastime. This made many parents and educators sad.
Now a group of adults came along, and they had an idea to change all that. What if they built a special place, just for kids and their parents and grandparents where they could play outside and reconnect with nature? A safe and enclosed spot designed by award winning professionals to capture their imaginations and bring all their senses to life? An exuberant, playful space where joy is contagious?
