Portland, OR Author Publishes Children's Book

Grandma's Birthday Balloon, a new book by Marje Jacobson, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Grandma's Birthday Balloon is a story of how a birthday balloon given by friends helped grandma to cope with Covid-19 and being isolated. It's almost completely true — the balloon took on a life of its own. The message is simple: if you have friends and family and a little faith in the unknown, you'll never be truly alone.
