This children's book explores the mystery of where balloons go once they are let free. Do they go out to dinner? Get married? Meet up for a huge dance? Write letters? The book creatively explores what balloons do up in the sky once they are gone and we cannot see them anymore. It then takes the balloons and draws a parallel between holding onto them and holding onto your children, from a parent's perspective. It says to hold on tight before you have to let go. I think this is such a sweet book for teachers, parents, and students alike. I really like books that are creative and that let children explore with their imaginations. I believe this book does just this. The illustrations are also very vivid and interesting in this book. I think they do a great job of showing what balloons do when they are high up in the sky.
