Balloon Girl

On a beautiful day at the park, a little girl proudly carries a big red balloon everywhere she goes. Elsewhere in the park, a baby cries loudly in his pram, and his mother tries in vain to soothe him. When the baby sees the girl’s balloon, he stops crying, but then cries even louder when the balloon goes out of sight.The girl loves her balloon, the baby loves her balloon – what should she do? Balloon Girl tells the story of a young girl’s compassion and how it changes a complete stranger’s day, showing that little things make a big difference.
