This review is from: The Moon Balloon: A Journey of Hope and Discovery for Children and Families (Paperback)
As I read this tapestry of words and life-affirming illustrations to a group of children who temporarily live with their moms in a shelter for battered women, all, including the boy who had been repeatedly slammed against the wall by his stepfather, responded to the validations and wisdom offered by the author with great respect for the human journey away from despair. The book immediately engaged them. As they listened, the children touched the pages again and again to connect to this source of light. It was a miracle to see the seeds of hope and healing planted almost effortlessly. I recommend this book without reservation for all ages, from childhood to the elderly. It is a tool and a treasure!
