In this episode of Page Break Podcast, Rich and Brian sit down with author Daniel Moore to explore his heartfelt children’s book Billy the Balloon—and the powerful message carried through its companion stories.

What began as a simple idea from a farmer noticing stray balloons in his fields grew into a meaningful story about connection, purpose, and unexpected relationships. Billy the Balloon brings together a farmer, his special needs grandson, and a young city girl in a story that reminds readers everything happens for a reason.

We also dive into the companion books in the series, including:

• Randy the Rooster – uncovering the story behind Billy’s journey
• Wally the Walker – expanding and completing the narrative
• Have a Pie, Have a Party – a poetic and heartfelt look through the eyes of a special needs child

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Daniel’s inspiration and journey from farm life to storytelling
• The deeper themes of inclusion, purpose, and faith woven into his books
• Why children’s stories can carry powerful messages for all ages
• How storytelling can bridge gaps between people and experiences

This episode is a reminder that even the simplest stories can carry profound meaning—and that sometimes, the smallest things (even a balloon) can change everything.
