The Start of Something Big

A children’s book about friendship, imagination, courage, determination and trying new things.

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

Not everybody finds being brave easy…Rosie certainly not. She is a cautious soul who prefers to know how everything will go before it happens. Alice and Hannah on the other hand love nothing more than trying something new, and are not easily discouraged when things don’t go to plan! What is most important is that these three cousins never leave each other behind. So when they find a battered old hot air balloon in the shed, it’s not long before they are courageous hot air balloon pilots, embarking on a hair-raising journey to Grandma’s.

This beautifully illustrated picture book series is peppered with delicious big words and humour that will delight young and old. Perfect for reading together with 4-8 year old children who love to follow the same characters over a number of adventures, but still thoroughly enjoy the delight of beautiful illustrations on every page.
