Julianna Margulies presents this story her father wrote for her and her sisters when they were children.
Saturdays at the Children’s Zoo with their father always end the same way for Ariel, Miranda, and Jane: he offers them money for a treat, but they instead choose to buy food for the animals. On this particular Saturday, a mysterious balloon man gives them a small reward for their kindness—one balloon each, to be tied to their bedposts that night. Soon they find that the balloons bring them more magic than they could ever have imagined. For readers who love the magic and wonder in Uni the Unicorn by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
"Tender, winsome, and loving." —Kirkus Reviews (3/1/16)
"[Shaffer} choreographs all the floating, soaring and prettiness so skillflly that the images really do seem lighter than air." —Publishers Weekly (2/8/16)
"...this modern fable is a lovely tribute to giving." —Booklist (3/15/16)
