Download or read book The Purple Balloon written by Chris Raschka and published by Schwartz & Wade. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a child becomes aware of his pending death (children tend to know long before the rest of us even want to consider it), and is given the opportunity to draw his feelings, he will often draw a blue or purple balloon, released and unencumbered, on its way upward. Health-care professionals have discovered that this is true, regardless of a child's cultural or religious background and researchers believe that this is symbolic of the child's innate knowledge that a part of them will live forever. . . . In disarmingly simple and direct language, accompanied by evocative potato print illustrations, Raschka in conjunction with Children's Hospice International (CHI), creates a moving, sensitive book that is also a phenomenally useful tool to talk about death. The message of the book is clear: talking about dying is hard, dying is harder, but there are many people in your life who can help. Children's Hospice International (CHI), a nonprofit organization founded in 1983, is paving the way for the establishment of children's hospice and related services worldwide.

The author’s life was changed forever on the evening she found a purple balloon on her lawn in July. It had traveled 150 miles from New City, New York, over the Hudson River before landing at her home in Woodstock, Connecticut. After having researched the balloon’s journey, Patty Langer found that the balloon had originated from a graduation at Clarkstown High School North. So high, so far away. Within each sunrise we experience, the music of our travels can be heard within the harmony of our souls. During the following year, Patty exchanged visits with Dr. Harry Leonardatos, principal of Clarkstown High School North, and learned a great deal about his school. She attended the graduation the following year. This book is the result of Patty’s experience. The lesson learned is never to let the smallest of things pass you by or go unnoticed.
