Once Upon a Balloon
by Bree Galbraith
Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Local: Chicago
Siblings: 2 brothers
The idea of this story was an imaginative use of storytelling from the "wise" older brother, but the story becomes too aloof at times. Chicago attracts all lost balloons due to "science, migration patterns, and wind tunnels created by invisible jets," says older brother Zeke. Zeke goes on to describe the life of Frank, balloon wrangler. But Frank is not happy, and this is where the story becomes a little odd. Frank is tired of the irregular hours of his job so he imagines building a robot to take over. Little brother, Theo, and Zeke decide to send Frank words of encouragement via balloon--which convince Frank to start building. Yup.
