About Three Magic Balloons
Julianna Margulies presents this story her father wrote for her and her sisters when they were children.
Saturdays at the Children’s Zoo with their father always end the same way for Ariel, Miranda, and Jane: he offers them money for a treat, but they instead choose to buy food for the animals. On this particular Saturday, a mysterious balloon man gives them a small reward for their kindness—one balloon each, to be tied to their bedposts that night. Soon they find that the balloons bring them more magic than they could have ever imagined.

Anderson’s Independent Bookstore Day is April 30, 2016
Anderson’s Independent Bookstore Day will be celebrated all day, Sat., April 30, as part of the store’s calendar of special events.
Activities are taking place all day, free costumed storytimes included. Anderson’s “The Bookseller in Is” Booth will offer personalized book suggestions for 5 cents (going to charity), ala Lucy Van Pelt of Peanuts’ fame. Refreshments will be provided at all locations, as well as the sale of exclusive literary Independent Bookstore Day items ranging from prints, tea towels, coloring books, and totes. (Neil Gaiman coloring books are going to move fast!)
The backstory of Independent Bookstore Day comes from 2014’s runaway success of California Bookstore Day. Bookstores across the nation are now preparing for Independent Bookstore Day, a country-wide celebration of books and independent bookstores.
Key to Anderson’s success has been special events, like the April 30 celebration of Independent Bookshop Day. For more information, visit www.andersonsbookshop.com.
