The Perfect Rainy Day (Hot Air Balloon Adventure Stories)

A children’s book about friendship, imagination, courage, determination and exploring the African savannah. Praise for the Hot Air Balloon Adventure series: “I think these are just wonderful. I love the spirit of adventure, combined with everyday details and I’m sure children from the equator to the poles (and everywhere in-between) will be carried away by the tales.” – James Mayhew “Annahita’s books inspire young girls to dream big and be brave and most importantly to have fun along the way!” – Jade Hameister Having successfully taught themselves to fly Grandma’s hot air balloon in “The Start of Something Big”, cousins Alice, Hannah and Rosie are feeling ready for a much bigger adventure. And what better way to escape a dreary rainy day than to fly to Africa to meet a giraffe? This time even Roger the cat finds the courage to join the girls on their journey. Having befriended a giraffe in the most unorthodox manner, it’s time to head back home. But the balloon won’t fly on account of the heat. As ever, not easily discouraged, the girls pass the time with a peaceful picnic. The peace doesn’t last though, because Roger is not the only cat in the African savannah, and he’s certainly not the biggest… A perfect story for reading together with 4-8 year old children who love the challenge of bigger words and the depth of a longer story, but still thoroughly enjoy the delight of beautiful illustrations on every page.
