The Blue Balloon idea popped up one very hot afternoon, while Candy was sitting around the kitchen table, coloring and making up stories with her grandaughter Charlotte. Pretty soon, all kinds of things were happening to the unsuspecting little balloon and The Blue Balloon’s Magnificent Day became the first book in a series.

Adventure with blue balloon

The Blue Balloon’s Magnificent Day follows the events that lead to a little balloon “coming to life”. He discovers joy and purpose as he enjoys the company of a little boy, who plays with him and gives him a name.

I’m delighted that my sister, Jennifer Siddens, agreed to bring her wit and whimsy to this book through her charming illustrations. We hope you and your small ones enjoy it!

This book will be enjoyed by children ages 2-5.
