Balloons over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade - Melissa Sweet

Have you ever seen the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, when the sky fills with breathtakingly enormous Balloons over Broadway (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $16.99)? Melissa Sweet tells the story of Tony Sarg, the creative genius behind the floating puppets. From the age of six, Tony was fascinated with discovering innovative ways to make things work. As he grew older, he began designing puppets and eventually constructed characters for the Macy’s parade. Sweet’s vibrant illustrations are a perfect homage to Sarg’s whimsy. Ages 7-10. AJK
