Phoebe Gilman wrote and illustrated many great books for young children including
Jillian Jiggs, Pirate Pearl and Something From Nothing. The Balloon Tree was her first book. It tells the story of a young princess who is left in the care of a grumpy uncle. When her uncle threatens to take over the kingdom and imprison her, the princess must send a signal to her father. An amazing balloon tree produces millions of balloons and alerts the king to the danger. A beautifully illustrated, magical story. Don’t miss it!
