Everyone’s a New Yorker on Thanksgiving Day, when old and young upward push early to peer what massive new balloons will fill the skies for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. 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.
