A warm, funny and relatable story about friendship, feelings, and the joy of letting go - perfect for little ones who are struggling to share. From multi-award-winning picture book creator, Catherine Rayner.
Flo the elephant has a beautiful bunch of balloons - and she loves them so much, she won't share a single one. As her friends gather and politely ask for a balloon, Flo's answer is always the same: NO!
But soon, with just one small act of kindness, everything changes. Flo begins to discover that sharing feels better than keeping everything to herself. And when disaster strikes, she realises something even more important - balloons may be lovely, but friends are truly precious.
