More about the book
New York City and its famed Metropolitan Museum of Art provide the setting for a collision of art and city life in this picture book. It all starts with a little girl's trip to view the museum's treasures and the parallel journey of her runaway yellow balloon. Floating down Fifth Avenue, past Central Park, bumping into a tea party at the Plaza Hotel, and even adding to a performance at the Metropolitan Opera, the balloon becomes part of a panorama of scenes that mirror the paintings and sculpture viewed by the wide-eyed little girl. The result is an exploration of how life can be captured with both the blink of an eye and the stroke of a brush.
