The Pink Balloon by Cynthia Sweeney, BriAnna Simons

“Wait, you have me mixed up. I’m pink balloon, not a pink balloon”

Somewhere near the seaside a child is about to be born. But, Briar’s story has already begun when one single pink balloon floats out of a box.

Inspired by a true story, The Pink Balloon is a book about gender identity and showing the world it is what’s on the inside that counts most.

Our gender identity is a gift that makes every child unique in the world. The Pink Balloon celebrates this through loving and insightful narrative, creating space for young families and children to think about what makes them who they are; and celebrate the differences in those around them.
