Around the World

Basketball is an international game, and this book visually demonstrates that reality. Written by John Coy, illustrated by Antonio Reonegro and Tom Lynch, this story will take readers around the world as they follow a pickup basketball game that starts in New York City to Australia, China, Brazil, France, Nigeria, and Canada, among other locations. The sights, sounds, and actions of basketball are very real - the grit, the sweat, the dribbles, and the swishes are all here. Teachers might use it along with Coy's book "Strong to the Hoop".
