📚🌟 Attention all book lovers and adventurers!

The Mustard Seed bookstore is thrilled to host a very special event. Join us in celebrating the remarkable achievement of Katherine Nolte, a homeschooling mother from St. Wenceslaus in Iowa City, as she takes her first leap into the world of children's literature.

Introducing "Back to the Bright Before", an enchanting tale of bravery, family, and a sprinkle of magic, published by the prestigious Randomhouse/Penguin. The story unfolds with eleven-year-old Pet Martin and her younger brother, Simon, embarking on a courageous quest to unearth a hidden treasure that could save their family.

After a devastating accident that lands their father in need of a costly surgery, and with their mother working tirelessly to make ends meet, Pet takes matters into her own hands. Guided by a poem about an ancient coin buried in the grounds of a local abbey, Pet and Simon, accompanied by a borrowed chicken and a stolen pony, run away from home. The stakes are high, the dangers real, and the magic - undeniable.

Join us on Saturday, June 10th at 1 PM as Katherine Nolte signs copies of her dazzling debut novel right here at the Mustard Seed. Meet the author, get your copy personalized, and dive headfirst into this magical adventure!

Celebrate the power of storytelling, the importance of family, and the courage within us all. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity!

Mark your calendars and we'll see you on June 10th at the Mustard Seed! 📖✨
