Story Time at Cottage Book Shop: July 24
2019-07-24 11:00 - 11:45 (America/Detroit) | Cottage Book Shop, 5989 Lake St, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636, United States
Author Tony Steeno will be at Story time on July 24 at Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor. Tony will read from his book Beyond the Lighthouse, Over the Mountains and offer book signing.
Three friends embark upon a hero’s journey, questing for a distant treasure. The way is arduous and fraught with peril, yet the trio boldly presses on. Much to their relief, help comes along when they least expect it-a guiding bright light, help from a thoughtful stranger, fellowship in a broken village. But is the kindness of strangers enough to help the three friends survive vicious storms, fend off fire breathing monsters, and conquer their own fears? (Ages 5 and up)
Beyond the Lighthouse, Over the Mountains, By Tony Steeno, Fireside Vernacular $18.95

Join us for Summer Storytime in the Pine Patch next to the Cottage Book Shop, on select Monday, Wed, or Fridays. On Wednesday a craft is added to Storytime! Crafts will be messy so please wear old clothes.
