The Balloon Adventure is the name of a 16-part comic by the talented artist Emmy C. (or “b1nd1″ as she is known on DeviantArt).  It is a beautiful and heartwarming story!!  I implore everyone to give it a read!

Just recently, a dedicated fan made an animation out of the story! 
~Watch it here~
  The animation is every bit as beautiful as the original comic, with the added bonus of emotion-stirring background music.  It is truly uplifiting!  Really!  Have you clicked the link yet?

If you find yourself in love with the comic (which, if you have read it, you undoubtably are), you can purchase for yourself (or a friend!) a hard copy to keep with you forever.  Here is the page detailing the book.
