Joanna Ho, A CITY FULL OF SANTAS - Book Drive Storytime!

Get into the holiday spirit with Joanna Ho, bestselling author of the new picture book A CITY FULL OF SANTAS!
About this Event

From the bestselling author of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners comes a fun and festive story about a little girl's enthusiastic hunt for the real Santa... She journeys with her mother into the city, which is bustling with holiday joy.

Guests are encouraged to dress up as Santa (or other festive characters) and help us pick out books for a local book drive so we can have our very own bookstore full of Santas!

To attend: This event is open to the public, but registration helps us when considering spatial constraints. You can register for a ticket for free through December 4, 4:00pm, and order the book . Additional copies of A City Full of Santas will be available for purchase during the event, but ordering ahead guarantees your copy.

Signing Guidelines: Following the event, Joanna Ho will sign and personalize copies of the book. If you would prefer not to stay for the signing portion, Red Balloon can have your books signed and personalized for you and will contact you when they're ready to be picked up.

Accessibility: Red Balloon Bookshop is wheelchair accessible and has a disability parking spot directly behind our store. If you have a disability or medical condition and have questions about or need other specific accommodations, please email [email protected] or call 651-224-8320.
