Celebrate local author V.T. Bidania's new middle grade novel A YEAR WITHOUT HOME at Red Balloon Bookshop along with fellow author Payal Doshi!

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 on Eventbrite through April 18, 3:00pm, and order a copy of the book on Red Balloon's website. Additional copies of A YEAR WITHOUT HOME will be available for purchase during the event, but ordering ahead guarantees your copy.
Signing Guidelines: Following the event, V.T. Bidania 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.
