Pages of the popular childrenâs picture book “The Polar Express”, by Michigan author Chris van Allsburg, are displayed along a mapped walking path for families to enjoy literacy, their community, and the holiday season.Â
The downtown area initiative is a collaboration between the Romeo District Library, the Romeo DDA, and Starkweather Arts Center.
Â
"The Polar Express is a classic that is beloved by all ages"
“The book is beautiful and each page spread is already formatted like a piece of art,” says Romeo District Library director Claire Lopiccolo. “The Polar Express is a classic that is beloved by all ages, and it’s associated with lots of wonderful holiday memories for people.”
For many families feeling cautious about celebrating the season while COVID-19 cases consider rising in Michigan, the outdoor activity provides a safe way to connect with the village.

I was telling about the airships of the rich. They carried the plague with them and no matter where they fled, they died. I never encountered but one survivor of any of them Mungerson. He was afterwards a Santa Rosan, and he married my eldest daughter. He came into the tribe eight years after the plague. He was then nineteen years old, and he was compelled to wait twelve years more before he could marry.
