Book Signing Event at Charlin’s Book Nook: Meet Michigan Author Tricia Ryndak Rohleder! Join us August 8th at 11am in the River Place Shops, Frankenmuth Exciting news for book lovers and families! Charlin’s Book Nook at the River Place Shops in Frankenmuth is thrilled to welcome first-time Michigan children’s author, Tricia Ryndak Rohleder, for a special book signing event on August 8th, starting at 11am! Bring the kids and discover a heartwarming children’s picture book that truly grows with your child. Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, this thematic book uses simple, easy-to-follow sentences to help young readers explore the many ways we can define and express love. Each page features a playful seek-and-find challenge—can you spot the hidden winky faces? This interactive element makes Storytime fun for everyone! What makes this book extra special? Inside, there’s a dedicated space for your child to become a co-author and illustrator—add their own creative writing, drawings, or a heartfelt message. It’s the perfect way to turn the book into a cherished keepsake that celebrates love, creativity, and connection. Ideal for children up to age 8, this book is more than just a story, it’s a journey into imagination and the bonds we share. About the Author: Tricia Ryndak Rohleder is an elementary teacher who believes children are our greatest gift. Inspired by her sons and a kindergarten class, she wrote this book years ago, with her niece—then a teenager—illustrating each page. Just published a few months ago, the book has already delighted young readers and teachers alike. Its repetitive sentence structure, metaphors, and onomatopoeia make it engaging in the classroom; students love finishing the story as it’s read aloud. The biggest compliment? Smiles from its toughest critics—children themselves! Tricia is thrilled to finally share this book with families everywhere. Don’t miss your chance to meet Tricia, get a signed copy, and create memories with your little ones! • When: August 8th, starting at 11am • Where: Charlin’s Book Nook, River Place Shops, Frankenmuth • Who: Tricia Ryndak Rohleder, Michigan children’s author Let’s celebrate stories that bring us together.
