About This Book
A resourceful boy who can blow enormous soap bubbles is lifted aloft when one bubble envelops him and carries him through imaginative skylands. He drifts past cloud farms, grazing little cows, and a Milky Way region where milk and cheese are made for the Moon, meeting whimsical farmers and milkmaids while observing the peculiar rules of that realm. His airborne journey attracts cosmic attention: the King of Mars spots the floating boy through a spyglass, mistakes him for a possible intruder, and dispatches winged soldiers, leading to an encounter between the solitary traveler and diminutive, fantastical warriors. The narrative blends playful imagery with light adventure.
