My Yellow Balloon by Tiffany Papageorge

Do you remember the feeling of having a new balloon tied around your wrist? We see Joey experience this for the first time in My Yellow Balloon by Tiffany Papageorge, and his excitement jumps right off the page! Before you know it, Joey and his yellow balloon are inseparable – until the day his beloved balloon comes untied from his wrist and floats away. Joey is bereaved as he mourns the loss of his balloon, and he feels mad, sad, and confused. . .until one day when the reflection of the sun in the pond reminds him of his round, yellow, floating friend! Joey knows he will still have sad days, but he also knows that every time he is in the sunshine, he can be reminded of his friend!
