The Yellow Balloon

This picture book by Charlotte Dematons has no text, and a narrative seems to be missing. But the attentive viewer quickly discovers that the various scenes of the city, the desert, the jungle, and the sea are connected. A small blue car, a fakir on a magic carpet, a thief in prison uniform, and a yellow balloon appear time and again. Young and old will enjoy searching for these recurring elements and thus reconstructing the story themselves.
In "The Yellow Balloon," Charlotte Dematons proves herself not only a master at creating atmosphere but also adept at weaving countless little jokes into the book. Niels Holgersson, Baron von Munchausen, Pippi Longstocking, Tutankhamun, Santa Claus, Rumpelstiltskin, and many other familiar characters from (children's) literature stroll cheerfully across the pages, making this picture book a feast of familiarity.
To watch endlessly!
