Synopsis

Recommended for ages 1+.

A simple book about making a highly complex decision. How big should I make my very own balloon? Illustrated in Andy Geppert's gorgeous gentle style, this adorable picture book is about making your first big decision and caring for things that are precious to you... like a yellow balloon.

Would you like a balloon?

Yes please, Elly. Can you make it big?

How big?

Even small questions are big when you're a kid. In this charming picture book, a little girl must decide how big she wants her yellow balloon to be. As big as a fishbowl or even bigger, like the moon? She has to decide quickly because it looks like the balloon has its own ideas.
