Where Do Balloons Go? is written by Jamielee Curtis. It is the kind of book I like. It stirs up the imagination, and adds creativity to a rather dull, painful, and negative experience. This book was inspired at an outdoor party. Curtis states, "... It started to rain and one little boy let go of his balloon and the other children followed suite. Looking up he asked his mother,'Where do the balloons go?'" At that moment she knew she had the beginning of a book. This book is Fiction and for the elementary level.Jamielee Curtis moonlights as an actress and photographer. She is the daughter of actor Tony Curtis. Curtis' books talk about life lessons. Her motivation is that her books stimulate parents to discuss with their children the issues mentioned in the book they read together. Curtis' books are simple, clear, and connect to what is good and bad.
Some of her books include: Big Words For Little People, Is There Really a Human Race?, It's Hard To Be Five, Tell Me Again Of The Night I Was Born, and more. Her website offers her book list, fun and games, teaching resources, play the big word spelling game, and meet her illustrator.

I had no ideal that Jamielee Curtis wrote children's books!
