A Sibert Medal-winning picture book biography and perfect Thanksgiving Day read about the invention of the first balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade From Caldecott honor artist Melissa Sweet.
Everyone's a New Yorker on Thanksgiving Day, when people from every corner of the country rise early or tune in to see what giant new balloons will fill the skies for Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. In Balloons Over Broadway, Caldecott honor artist Melissa Sweet brings the inspirational story of Tony Sarg, a self-taught immigrant with a wildly creative dream that invented those balloons, to life. The story takes readers through every step of Sarg's journey-- from his childhood love of creating marionettes, to the moment this brilliant idea was born in his head, all the way up to the invention of these enchanting floating balloons. Sweet brilliantly captures the essence of Sarg through her signature collage illustrations and thoughtful storytelling. Balloons over Broadway will capture the hearts of all ages sitting around the dinner table, on Thanksgiving Day and every day.Binding Type: Hardcover

good water
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I like to taste of this water And I feel like the quality is good. the size of the bottom is perfect for on the go. the water quality is good and it is refreshing. the water doesn't have a bad after taste. The only drawback would be the bottles are a little thin and you have to worry about the durability of them if stacking in the fridge because they could open from pressure. The durability of the bottles are lacking s bit.
