For fans of Be Kind, Come With Me, and Waiting, Jonathan D. Voss's stunning new picture book, The Wishing Balloons, is a timeless story of the struggle, wonder, and power of making a new friend.
A young girl named Dot is overjoyed when the moving truck arrives at the house down the street, and even more excited when a boy her age steps out, offering the prospect of a new friend. But Albert looks sad, and he won't reveal why. After many attempts to cheer him up, Dot walks away defeated. That night, a balloon with a note tied to its string taps her window. Unfolding the note, Dot finds a wish that Albert has written. This is her chance to make Albert happy--she will (creatively) grant his wishes. Though as each wish becomes harder to grant, Dot learns the powerful lesson that sometimes being a friend means waiting until the people you care about are ready to reach out.Jonathan D. Voss was a portrait artist and graphic designer before becoming a children's book illustrator. He is the author-illustrator of Brave Enough for Two and Imagine That, and the illustrator of Winnie: The True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh and Whoo-Ku Haiku. He lives in Wake Forest, North Carolina with his family.
