A Sibert Medal-winning picture book biography and perfect Thanksgiving Day read about the invention of the first balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade From Caldecott honor artist Melissa Sweet.
Everyone's a New Yorker on Thanksgiving Day, when people from every corner of the country rise early or tune in to see what giant new balloons will fill the skies for Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. In Balloons Over Broadway, Caldecott honor artist Melissa Sweet brings the inspirational story of Tony Sarg, a self-taught immigrant with a wildly creative dream that invented those balloons, to life. The story takes readers through every step of Sarg's journey-- from his childhood love of creating marionettes, to the moment this brilliant idea was born in his head, all the way up to the invention of these enchanting floating balloons. Sweet brilliantly captures the essence of Sarg through her signature collage illustrations and thoughtful storytelling. Balloons over Broadway will capture the hearts of all ages sitting around the dinner table, on Thanksgiving Day and every day.Binding Type: Hardcover

Comfort+pointed toe=Sam Edelman
Size: 6.5, Color: Dk Chocolate
These are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes/boots, I with a pointed toe, that I have ever worn. The heel is a perfect height to elevate your look without forcing your foot too far forward into the toe box. I have worn these all day long, and have never had them pinch my toes. I’ve even worn them walking through cobblestone streets in London without discomfort. These boots also look amazing with a skirt, dress, or even a pair of jeans. The color is rich and the suede is butter soft. They fit true to size. I wear a 6.5 M. I find this true with all of the shoes I own from Sam Edelman. The quality is much better than the price suggests. I highly recommend these boots. You won’t regret your purchase!

Calf shaft runs big
Size: 9, Color: Black Wc
Beautiful suede boots. The shaft does run a bit loose so if you’re on the fence about ordering a wide version you may want to try the regular size first. I sized up half a size so I could wear a sock but probably didn’t need to. The kitten heel height is perfect for my comfort. I liked these so much I got them in dark walnut and black.
