The sky sends Bear a weightless gift – red as a berry, round like the moon, on a long silver string. When the gift of a balloon floats into Bear's life, the two companions embark on a journey of discovery as small as a clearing in the forest . . . and as deep as the sky. With emotive, lyrical text and radiant illustrations, Matthew Burgess and Catia Chien tell a compassionate tale of friendship and forgiveness that honours the small but profound world of the very young.The sky sends Bear a weightless gift – red as a berry, round like the moon, on a long silver string.
