The Remember Balloons by Jessie Oliveros

5.0

If you're not prepared to cry, this isn't the book for you...I WEPT. A very sweet book about James and his grandfather and the connection they have over balloons (or memories). James' grandfather starts to lose his balloons, but James has valued them so much that he can retell his grandfather the stories behind all of the balloons and help him keep them. If you know someone who has suffered from memory loss (Alzheimer's, dementia, etc.) this book will absolutely crush you in the best way.
