Books Come to Life at 12th Annual Storybook Forest

Children’s characters came to life on Saturday at the 12th annual Storybook Forest in Spring Hill. The woods transformed into a world of pure imagination through hands-on activities like face-painting, singing, and, of course, reading. The slight chill in the air didn’t stop Anysia McDowell and her daughters from making the trek up from St. Petersburg. “We just got here and did a beeline to Daniel Tiger and Katerina Kittycat!” she laughed. “We saw lots of books being featured, we love reading.”
