Something Magical About Balloons

By Temeka Jordan and Ajaye Herndon

This beautifully illustrated children’s book tells a story of a little boy finding peace and serenity after the loss of a loved one. The author uses balloons to help little grieving Admyire feel a sense of connection to his beloved grandfather who is now above the sky in heaven.

Admyire and his sister Adour stare in disbelief into the sky as they watch a balloon that appears to have a vision of their grandfather in it. Their grandfather begins to entertain the kids by doing cool tricks like writing their names in the sky, changing colors, and dancing around the window that they are staring out of.

After watching the balloon do all these fascinating tricks, Adour says to her brother Admyire, “I know why the wind makes balloons fly in the sky—it’s God’s way of letting us play with loved ones in heaven.”

This fun balloon story for children helps adults understand that children miss their loved ones too and they also need to understand their loss.
