What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

On a boring day, on a dull street, Sebastian sat high atop his roof–something he was never supposed to do. When he launched himself into the air in his balloon made of Grandma’s afghans and patchwork quilts, his journey took on a life of its own and his boring day turned into the adventure of a lifetime. From award-winning author/illustrator Philip C. Stead, comes another timeless adventure with his trademark whimsical illustrations and an unwavering spirit. This title has Common Core connections.
