Who first invented these “upside-down puppets”? Meet Tony Sarg, puppeteer extraordinaire! In brilliant collage illustrations, the award-winning artist Melissa Sweet tells the tale of the puppeteer Tony Sarg, capturing his genius, his dedication, his zest for play, and his long-lasting gift to The united states—the impressed helium balloons that will turn out to be the trademark of Macy’s Parade.
