@h2 Welcome to PebbleTown
@h6 where discovery sparks joy in reading and learning
PebbleTown is PebbleGo’s vibrant, storybook inspired reading program where every article read, every eBook explored, and every new discovery brings classrooms closer together in a community built on curiosity. From mid-October through March 2026, students will chart their journeys, earn badges, and celebrate their progress as proud citizens of PebbleTown! Along the way, classrooms have a chance to unlock exclusive monthly giveaways and compete for grand prizes at the finish line. The adventure ends with the Great Story Makers Parade, a week long celebration happening March 2-6. Sign up for exclusive, free, live sessions with Capstone authors and illustrators, featuring joyful read-alouds, live drawing demonstrations, and behind-the-scenes looks at how books are created. This is the perfect opportunity for students to connect directly with real story makers and for educators to gather inspiration they can bring straight back to the classroom. This free weeklong celebration is open to all educators and students.
The Great Story Makers Parade is coming to PebbleTown!
@h6 The Great Story Makers Parade brings Capstone authors and illustrators straight to your classroom.
