The kids at school write cards to attach to their balloons, with the hope that when the balloon lands and the note is discovered by another child who would then send a note back to the child with the hope that the two could become pen-pals, a practice lost in the modern world. The balloon that travels the furthest, as well as the note that receives a response from another kid will be declared the winner.

"It's an invitation to readers to co-author additional books in the series, which makes it unique and special," Payton said. "Imagine Curious George or Thomas the Train, but instead of all the books being written by the same author, the books in my series will be co-authored by me and readers from around the world."
Payton's goal is to encourage kids to always be curious and adventurous–to wonder what happens to things once they leave your sight. "I'm a dad who wrote a book with his family and hopes others will join me on this adventure," he said. "I want others to become adoshable–a creative word that means adventuring with joy and intent."
