Book Description
Imagine you are a hot air balloon pilot flying high in the sky. Where would you want to go? What do you think the view would be like from up high? Hot air balloon pilots have wonderful adventures, where they get to see things they have never seen before and learn all about the world outside.

This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to overcome separation anxiety—so they can become the confident pilots of their very own hot air balloons!
