Voss’s stunning new picture book, \u003ci\u003eThe Wishing Balloons\u003c\/i\u003e, is a timeless story of the struggle, wonder, and power of making a new friend.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA young girl named Dot is overjoyed when the moving truck arrives at the house down the street, and even more excited when a boy her age steps out, offering the prospect of a new friend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Albert looks sad, and he won’t reveal why. After many attempts to cheer him up, Dot walks away defeated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat night, a balloon with a note tied to its string taps her window. Unfolding the note, Dot finds a wish that Albert has written.
