Sebastian And The Balloon (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
This whimsical book is perfect for a lap sit on a windy, blustry day. Sebastian is tired of his life so he decides to take "everything he'll ever need" and go on an adventure. On the way he meets a real bear, a very tall bird and three sisters. With the help of his friends, Sebastian tries new things and overcomes unexpected obstacles. The colors in this book are vibrant yet lend a feeling of nostalgia because of their contrast. With nothing new to see on his street, Sebastian builds a balloon out of his Grandma's afghans, and sets off to "see something new for a change." Each time the wind picked up and it was time to go, he had new companions in the balloon. Charming in it's simplicity and perfect for the bedtime stories or the imaginative storytime."Artwork for this book was created using pastels, oil paints, and pressed charcoal."
