It's Tough to Lose Your Balloon

From the author of National Book Award finalist Hey, Kiddo.

Lost balloons. Melted ice cream. Babysitters.

Life as a kid can be pretty daunting. But don’t let these troubles get you down. With the right attitude, a hurdle can become a hammock and an obstacle can become an opportunity!
