About the Author
Celeste Jenkins was born and raised in Southern California, where she enjoyed teaching elementary school. She now lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with her husband, Mark, and is a stay-at-home mom for her two little balloon-loving girls.
Maria Bogade is an illustrator whose work has been published in countries around the globe.

She lives with her family in a tiny town in Germany.
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 1-A little girl ties a note to a red balloon and lets it go, hoping that someone will find it and respond. As it sails higher and higher, things on the ground get smaller: "Each shrinking house/small like a mouse./Fields into rugs./Cows into bugs." When the balloon heads for the ground, it is found by another little girl. Upon reading the note, she discovers that the sender lives next door. The two meet and become friends. There is nothing new or fresh about this predictable tale. The lackluster poetry is often forced and the illustrations, which appear to be computer generated, have a greeting-card quality.
