How can children begin to heal after losing a pet? Balloons for Tiger takes an imaginative look at this tough topic as colorful balloons travel from the hands of children to their beloved cat who has passed on. This book lets children open up their hearts and imaginations for a magical journey to the farthest corners of the world, where they’ll meet skydivers, astronauts, superheroes, and everything in between. As they watch the balloons voyage to the other side of the rainbow bridge, they learn to positively process their grief. Balloons for Tiger is a great tool for any child who has experienced the loss of a pet- or any other loved one, too.
Our Thoughts
A heartfelt story about the long road balloons take to get to Heaven. A little girl sends balloons to Heaven to her kitty, Tiger to send a message. It’s so hard to lose an animal who is part of your family. For children it’s not only hard but confusing knowing they won’t ever get to see them again. In this gorgeously Illustrated book a little girl gets to watch the balloons travel far past the sky and space to reach their final destination. Once they get there they find Tiger, and Tiger in return sends his own message to the little girl in the form of a kitty shaped cloud. In the back of the book are common core questions for educators and coping strategies for parents. Another wonderful book from my friend, Lori!
