If we
could float like balloons, imagine the things we’d see…all the
things we probably miss in the hustle and bustle of everyday
living. In Wendy Lund’s new children’s book, The Fly Away
Balloon, Bitsy the balloon goes on an adventure and sees the
wonder of nature that we often overlook.
Chosen from
the toy shop for a little girl’s birthday, Bitsy Balloon begins
a new adventure that takes her out of the shop, through the park
and up, up---and away! Suddenly on her own, Bitsy discovers a
whole new world as she encounters buzzing bees, flying birds and
little fish in a stream. But her floating journey takes her
farther and farther away, and Bitsy soon realizes she must
somehow make her way back to the little girl.
Bitsy
is finally found and returned to the little girl, but has
wonderful memories of her adventure in the park as a Fly Away
Balloon.
“This is a charming tale of Bitsy Balloon’s adventures in the
park as she leaves the safety of the toy shop for a walk with
the little girl who bought her. As she finds herself floating
away from the little girl, Bitsy promises to find her way
home—and she does! You will want to read this story over again
and again!” – Sue Burns, CEO Bonapatea, Inc., Bonaparte, Iowa.
