Book Launch

If you're going to be in Winnipeg on Tuesday June 10th, consider attending the launch of "Jewell Adventure," by Gilbert Hofer. The launch will be held at McNally Robinson Booksellers at 7:00 p.m. (Grant Park).

Jewell Adventure is the first English language children's book written by a Hutterite author and published by the Hutterite Brethren Book Centre. Gilbert will read from his book and sign copies. Publisher Kenny Wollmann says: "There will be food . . . cold cuts, cheese and Hutterite dainties. Go for the food if nothing else!"

About Jewell Adventure: Many Hutterite boys dream of riding to the nehbours on forbidden bikes. What adventures will Gilbert and his friends have when they decide to take the trip and what will happen to them if they are caught?

"Gilbert Hofer's enchanting and ground breaking tale of young Hutterite boys on a day's adventure, combined with wonderful illustrations by Victor Kleinsasser, is a must read for any one interested in children's literature and Hutterite life"
- Joe McLellan, co-author of Goose Girl and the Nanabosho Series
