About this Event

From a park in the United States to a pitch in India, from the seaside in Nigeria to a stadium in Uruguay, there’s one game that brings the world together. Whether you call it football, soccer, or any other name, it’s the most popular sport on the planet. Enjoy an action-packed read-aloud of The World Game followed by a book signing with John Coy!

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 and preorder a copy of the book on Red Balloon's website. Additional copies of The World Game will be available for purchase during the event, but ordering ahead guarantees your copy.

Signing Guidelines: Following the event, John Coy 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.

Code of Conduct: Red Balloon strives to create a kind, safe, and welcoming space where everyone is treated fairly and thoughtfully, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, or ability.

We ask that everyone—booksellers and customers alike—follow these standards whether in our shared physical space or online.
