Molly Who Flew Away

Reach for this book when your child is in a generous, expansive mood or when you want to nurture their natural impulse to share with others. It is an ideal choice for the child who sometimes gets so caught up in a kind gesture that they forget the practicalities of the world around them. Molly's story celebrates the whimsical joy of giving without overcomplicating the message with heavy moralizing. The story follows Molly, a sweet pig who visits a fair and decides to buy balloons for every one of her friends. Because she is so focused on her friends' happiness, she buys so many that she actually floats away. It is a lighthearted, absurdist adventure that validates the feeling of 'floating on air' when doing something nice. For parents, it serves as a gentle reminder that a child's imagination and kindness are magical forces that should be celebrated.
