Program Description

Event Description

Do you love watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade? Have you ever imagined making your own big balloon or helping carry one down the street? We’re going to read a fun story all about the giant balloon puppets that float through New York City, called "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet. Then, you’ll get to make your very own balloon puppet! When everyone is done, we’ll have our own parade through the library.
