Bye Bye Balloon
by Ryan SanAngelo
Kid’s musician and author Ryan SanAngelo returns with his 2nd children’s book Bye Bye Balloon, the follow up to his 1st published work, the humorous Spaghetti Eddie. Bye Bye Balloon, which features appealing art by Sean Boyce, follows a single carnival balloon on a globetrotting adventure that will introduce your children to the running of the bulls in Spain, the great pyramids in Egypt, the Taj Majah in India, and many other famous scenes and spots. The Mouse has been drawn in by Bye Bye Balloon; reading it from memory most every day to herself, to us, and to her stuffed animals. The casual pace of the story matches perfectly with the quiet nature of the protagonist’s peaceful airborne journey.
Bye Bye Balloon is a simple, elegant picture book that doesn’t try to do too much but ends up doing just enough to make young children want to read it again and again and again.
