Description
A poignant picture book that gently explains the memory loss associated with aging and diseases such as Alzheimer's. Grandpa has balloons representing his cherished memories, but when they begin to float away, James is heartbroken.
As he tries to catch them, James comes to understand that even though Grandpa no longer has balloons of his own, he still has many more than before. It's up to James to share those balloons, one by one, and find a way to hold on to the memories they represent.
This tender story is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the importance of holding onto cherished moments.
