  • Where Do Balloons Go? An Uplifting Mystery by Jamie Lee Curtis

    Haven't you ever wondered ...

    Where do balloons go
    when you let them go free?
    It can happen by accident.
    It happened to me.


    Do they tango with airplanes?
    Or cha-cha with birds?
    Can plain balloons read
    balloons printed with words?


    When one little boy accidentally lets go of his balloon, his imagination takes him on its journey.
