1 post | 2 read
"No one should wait for a child to experience loss before sharing this wise, gentle book." - Kirkus ReviewsLetting go and loss can be difficult to comprehend. Goodbye Balloon will help you understand these emotions and give you insights to deal with them. Where does a special balloon go when it slips out of your hands? You can't stop it, but you can wish it a beautiful journey, gliding past birds and soaring over mountains. Maybe your balloon will fly to someone else so that they can have a happy day. A beautifully illustrated picture book about learning to let go. For children ages 5 years and up. Part of the Healthy Minds series, where Adam Ciccio examines daily obstacles and the mental health of young children. Through a familiar story and helpful tips, which the author draws from his own experiences as an outpatient mental health practitioner, children and adults gain insight into what goes on in young minds and are given tools to help them cope with difficult situations.

2 ⭐This book is supposed to be about processing loss and I‘m not sure I get it.This character has a balloon. They have fabulous adventures, but the character knows that eventually the balloon will go away. We follow along the adventures until one day, the balloon is handed off to another character, as if instead of saying goodbye, it‘s saying it‘s time to move on \ I don‘t think it gets the point they‘re trying to make.
