“I have always wanted to write children's books. When I decided to publish my first book, I contacted Blue Balloon Books. They have really made the process so enjoyable. They are very professional, set up meetings when needed, return emails immediately, and have all the resources necessary to develop, illustrate, publish, and distribute a book. For a children’s book, the illustrations are so important. I had endless illustrators to choose from and feel that the illustrator that I went with is beyond talented…I have been given every advantage available to publish and distribute the best version of my book.”
Author of Stella the Mama Osprey
“From the onset, I was made to feel like family. Editor Savannah Spidalieri guided me every step of the publishing way, answering any questions and handling all of my concerns. She made the process seamless! My book, Jeb on the Farm, was brought to life for all to enjoy thanks to her! I’m forever grateful! I’m so pleased to have partnered with Blue Balloon Books for this endeavor. The whole experience has been a blessing!”

“I had this dream—a bucket list item, if you will—about becoming an author. Understanding how the big publishing companies work, I didn’t think it would come true. After seeing that Blue Balloon Books was searching for new stories, I couldn’t pass it up! Working with Savannah and the whole team at Blue Balloon that has made this come true was so smooth and easy! They work with your time frame and ideas so that your personal vision can be a reality."

“I found Blue Balloon Books through a lot of research. They met key criteria for publishing my very first book ever. As soon as I met Kat and Kayleigh, I knew it would be an all-star team. This positive feeling continued as I met more of my team: Lindsey and Helene. I had a very tall ask.... October discussions would turn into a published book prior to Leap Day. The team worked very hard to set my expectations, share the project timeline with key milestones/deadlines, and outline how we could get this done. They were encouraging, positive, empathic and knowledgeable. They were also extremely patient with me as I asked a thousand questions, sent a lot of emails, and interacted with them from a COO point of view (i.e., a pain in the you-know-what type of customer). When my personally procured illustrator backed out at the very last minute, they rallied to find an amazing illustrator – and we met all the deadlines! I truly felt that they understood my frustration and anxiety.
THANK YOU to this group of talented individuals who worked together seamlessly as a
team. Not only did we get the book out by Leap Day, but it hit the #1 spot on new releases on Amazon and continues to sell even past Leap Day."
