Penelope's Balloons

From a dynamic debut creator, here is a charming and endearing story about an elephant's quest for acceptance-destined to become a modern classic. Penelope loves her ten red balloons. She spends every moment with them, taking them with her everywhere she goes-school, ballet class, and the market. But when she loses all her balloons, Penelope is devastated. With a gentle nod to perennial classics in its art style, Penelope's Balloons is a celebration of differences, embracing your identity, and, especially, friendship. ​Debut author-illustrator Brooke Bourgeois beautifully explores childhood passions, identity, and anxiety in this timeless story about the power of friends, family, and community.
