This book deserves all 5 stars! It was very moving. A great way to introduce kids to memory loss- whether due to just old age or dementia. This book was so sweet and almost made me cry. I don't usually log picture books, but I loved it so much I want to remember it.

This book describes a grandfather dealing with what is assumed to be Alzheimer’s and his grandson’s perception of his memories floating away like balloons. This book is one of the only picture books to actually bring tears to my eyes as I read it. I recommend this book for all elementary age students.

Wonderful allegory
