When Thomas celebrates his birthday in his new Australian home, he feels happy-but also a little sad that some of his family can't be there. To make the day extra special, Thomas creates a balloon-powered surprise for his best friend, Blue Ted. But when the balloons drift too high, Blue Ted floats away on an incredible journey across the world!

From windy backyards to stormy skies-and all the way to England-Blue Ted becomes a little bear in a very big adventure. With the help of a kind farmer, a friendly pilot, and Thomas's hopeful family, Blue Ted finds his way back home just in time for a happy ending.

The Birthday Balloons is a heartwarming picture book about family, love, and never giving up hope. This beautifully illustrated story gently explores emotions, problem-solving, and the joy of being reunited with the people (and teddy bears!) we love most.
