This book is supposed to be about processing loss and I’m not sure I get it. I’m lost. This character has a balloon. They have fabulous adventures, but the character knows that eventually the balloon will go away. We follow along the adventures until one day, the balloon is handed off to another character, as if instead of saying goodbye, it’s saying it’s time to move on. This book is written by a psychologist who helps children with their mental states. The book in general is lovely. I don’t think it gets the point they’re trying to make. I will say the watercolor illustrations are amazing. They would look good on any wall as art outside of the book.… (altro)

Imagination is a wonderful thing!
Loss is something that happens.
The illustrations by Magriet van der Berg are fun, simple, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Clavis Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!
