One day a yellow balloon flies out of a child’s room. From that moment
on, we accompany him on his adventure. We watch him peek through
puddles, look into the kindergarten, admire the city from on high, fly
over forests, mountains and oceans. The balloon floats even higher and farther!
Will it touch the stars? Will he see a comet?
“Bye, bye Balloon!” will familiarize the reader what near-far means. Home, neighborhood, city, country, continent. It is an illustrated guide to the surroundings, training perceptiveness and memory. Learning and fun.
