Comeau’s book, “The Inside of ME” is a reminder of what happens on the inside when we go outside. Nine special Maine places — including Pondicherry Park — are featured and illustrated on the pages by Denmark-based artist, Suzi Linden, who will be at the event to show her original sketches and illustrations, according to a news release from Loon the trust.

The event will begin at the Depot Street Entrance to Pondicherry Park (Bob Dunning Memorial Bridge). The group will walk page to page along the trail, reading as they go and reflecting on the natural world surrounding the pages. A snack will be provided at the end of the event. All youth must be accompanied by a caregiver.

The trail is mostly shaded, 6 feet wide, and has a packed gravel surface with gentle slopes. The total distance walked will be approximately 1 mile, and there are several benches along the route where one can stop and rest. The trail is suitable for some strollers and wheeled mobility devices.

The event is free, but registration is requested at lelt.org or by emailing maggie@lelt.org. The book will be available to purchase at Bridgton Books after the event.
