Summer is the perfect time for an adventure and a book that really transports you. That’s our theme for #littlelitbookseries this month—books that take you places.
"He charted a course.
He checked the breeze.
He cut the strings...
and floated free."
On a dull and lifeless night, and ready for a change in scenery, a boy named Sebastian takes flight in a hot air balloon made out of his grandmother's afghans and patchwork quilts. He has a few mishaps along the way but makes a few memorable friends on a most unexpected adventure.
Sebastian and the Balloon was written and illustrated by Philip C. Stead and published by Roaring Brook Press.
