When one day a gust of wind blew his papers into the fireplace, he noticed that something lifted the pieces into the air--and he realized that heat could make things rise. With the help of his brother,  tienne, he began to experiment . . . and created a new kind of flying machine: a hot-air balloon  This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of how the balloon came to be, King Louis XVI's visit to see it fly, and the three animals--a rooster, a duck, and a sheep--who became its very first passengers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason Henry is an author, illustrator, and book designer, is a \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Star Watch Honoree, and has received multiple awards for his book designs from The New York Book Show.
