Balloons Over Broadway:

The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade

Author/ Illustrator: Melissa Sweet

It’s that time of year… Thanksgiving!   Every year millions tune in to
watch or participate in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York
City.  It is a time-honored American tradition.  Cheers, smiles and festive
moments are sprinkled with the delights of floats, music, and the giant
helium balloons.  But how did all this begin?  Read this award winning book
which recounts the history of the giant helium-filled character balloons
that float every year since 1928.  All of it started with Tony Sarg's love
for puppets, which set the stage for his creations.
