The Red Balloon

[franceslievens]

There's a little story I always use when teaching the little ones, first graders that still have to learn to read and write: The Red Balloon. It's also a film, but I've never bothered looking for it, because it's an old film and old films are hard to come by. Not that hard, it seems. When reading Boing Boing today I suddenly tripped over it. And in the process I discovered a great blog and some nice music.
