About This Event

Boulder Bookstore welcomes children’s author Merrilees Brown for a special storytime and book signing celebrating Spaghetti: A Mouse and His Treasure on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 11:00 AM. This delightful children’s book follows Spaghetti the mouse who loves collecting treasures—lost buttons, bits of string, old pencil stubs, and lots of dried spaghetti! While Spaghetti’s family sees a mousy mess, Spaghetti sees mouse treasure. But when too much treasure takes up all the space in the mouse house, Spaghetti must put on his thinking cap (a pencil shaving!) and come up with a creative solution for everyone. This free family-friendly event is perfect for young readers who love stories about creativity, problem-solving, and seeing value in unexpected places. Meet the author, enjoy storytime, and celebrate a charming tale about finding creative solutions while honoring what makes us special. Registration required for this Boulder kids’ book event.
