Sweet, M. (2011). Balloons over Broadway: The true story of the puppeteer of Macy's
parade. NY: Houghton.
Every little movement has a meaning of its own.
This is the story of the greatness of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Tony was always smart and creative. As a child he created an artifact that would allow him to feed his dad's chickens without him having to get out of bed. From there, he started making his very own marionnettes when he realized that they weren't been made anymore. When he moved to New York he was givena greater chance. To decorate the Macy's display window. From there the project grew and grew and based on his plans and trials and errors he created the magnificence of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parades we enjoy today.
This is a truly inspiring tale of how out of nothing, greatness can be accomplished. This is the perfect tale of trial and error that will teach children that everything we create, as magnificent as it may appear, will always have room for improvement. Just as Tony never gave up, this will teach children to keep trying to perfect their projects because there will always be room for improvement.
