pick4 ⭐ Jayme Lee Curtis is a master at asking a child‘s question. The thoughts and imagination of our narrator take them up high and down low in perfect drawing. It also has spot on cadence and amazing illustrations. If there was a GOAT of a celebrity author, it is Jayme Lee Curtis. And fun bit if you ever read one of her books check out her bio. She has done so much that I love how she chooses to write her bio in her kids books.

pick4 ⭐This book is a labor of love. You can see it on every single page of the book. This book is completely wordless and it‘s about a little girl who goes to the museum with their adult and they get told the balloon has to stay out. Through the comedic panels we follow the little girl as she visits the real-life art exhibit, and we follow a museum docent as they‘re trying to get the balloon once birds send it flying.
pick4 ⭐This book chronicles Sophie Blanchard, the first woman to go solo in a hot air balloon. She was one of the first female aeronauts. Little is known of her life before marrying Jean Pierre Blanchard, a famous aerialist of the time. This is a great beginning look at woman who dared to do what many thought only men could do. Finding out that Sophie died so young, due to a fire and a fall from her balloon, is heartbreaking but also real.
“Inside that basket are ballooning's first brave passengers... a duck, a sheep, and a rooster.“ This I thought was fun twist to add to this book.
