Bajette's Balloon: The Magic of Smiles by Claudia C Colonna is a picture book for young readers. While looking out the window for her lost cat Rocco, Bajette notices a balloon heading toward the window. It catches her attention, and she bolts outside to see it. She manages to grab hold of the string just in time, but something unexpected happens. It changes color and lifts her. Not knowing where the balloon may take her, Bajette embraces its power. The balloon takes Bajette on an adventure, leading her to meet new people. What adventures will Bajette experience? And will she find Rocco? Find out in this book.
Bajette's Balloon: The Magic of Smiles was a pleasure to read. From start to finish, Claudia C Colonna grabs the attention of the young reader by luring them in with a curious balloon that changes color. This had me intrigued and eager to read more. This book is a lot of fun to read, but it also has educational purposes. Children will learn the gift of kindness, allowing them to see the benefits of helping people and just being a decent person in general. The writing has been kept simple so that children can follow along easily. The illustrations are colorful, vibrant, and attractive and will have children loving them as soon as they lay their eyes on them. I wish Claudia all the best in this creative venture, and I hope to read more from her soon.
Keep up the good work!
