By Julianna Margulies, Paul Margulies, Grant Shaffer (Illustrator)
Three sisters' kindness at the zoo leads to magical nighttime adventures.
Every Saturday, Ariel, Miranda, and Jane visit the zoo with their father, choosing to feed the animals over buying treats. One day, a mysterious balloon vendor rewards their kindness with balloons that transform their nights into magical adventures. What wonders will these enchanted balloons reveal, and how will the sisters' lives change with this newfound magic? Discover a world where compassion unlocks extraordinary possibilities.
Julianna Margulies presents this story her father wrote for her and her sisters when they were children. Saturdays at the Children’s Zoo with their father always end the same way for Ariel, Miranda, and Jane: he offers them money for a treat, but they instead choose to buy food for the animals. On this particular Saturday, a mysterious balloon man gives them a small reward for their kindness–one balloon each, to be tied to their bedposts that night. Soon they find that the balloons bring them more magic than they could ever have imagined. For readers who love the magic and wonder in Uni the Unicorn by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
