Billy the Balloon
Daniel Moore ’84 Ag. Econ.
Elm Hill: 2018
This illustrated children’s book tells how a farmer, his special needs grandson, and a young city girl are wondrously brought together for a benefit party by a balloon named Billy.

His special needs grandson inspired him 25 years later to turn those musings into a book.
