🎨 How to color it

Color the giraffe golden yellow with cocoa-brown spots, the striped party hat cherry red and sky blue, and the balloons in pink, teal, purple, and sunny orange. Use chunky crayons or washable markers for the big balloon shapes, and help little hands slow down around the tiny stars, dots, and hat stripes. Try making the plain balloons lighter at the top to match their shiny oval highlights.

The story behind this coloring page

Sela Waits for Wonder — Every evening, under the festival gate, Sela held the extra balloons and invented her own game: wait until one string tickled her hoof, then guess what it wanted. Read the full story →

Every evening, under the festival gate, Sela held the extra balloons and invented her own game: wait until one string tickled her hoof, then guess what it wanted. The balloons smelled like warm rubber and sun. Most nights, they only bobbed. “Not yet,” Sela whispered.

Until one day, the star balloon tugged left. Because of that, Sela followed its tiny pull past the lantern boxes. Because of that, she found the musicians still unpacking, with no sign to call the crowd. Sela raised her striped hat high, and the balloons floated above the gate like a quiet rainbow. Soon drums went boom-soft, boom-soft, and families came smiling. Next time you spot the starry balloon, can you tell which way wonder pulled first?
