Bob is sad but Bob is a balloon and balloons are supposed to be happy all the time. So when he decides to float away from a birthday party, another balloon chases after him to help him realize he is not alone. Sometimes children feel sad or anxious or afraid, and although that's normal and okay, sometimes they deny or avoid those feelings, hoping they go away. This heartfelt, enlightening book is about helping children put names to their feelings. By putting names to their feelings, children are given the power to make choices about what can be done about them. As the saying goes, "You have to name it to tame it." Teaching children to admit to their feelings will help them develop a healthy understanding of themselves as they continue to grow into adulthood.
