About the work
“What I Wish I Knew When I Wanted to Let It All Go” is the story of Sofia, a girl who builds a red balloon to fly away from her pain. In her effort to rise, she begins discarding her most meaningful memories—only to realize that in doing so, she is abandoning parts of herself. This gentle, symbolic tale speaks to the illusion that healing always means letting go. Instead, it reveals a deeper truth: some things that weigh us down are also what make us whole. Told with quiet poetry and powerful imagery, the story invites both children and adults to rethink grief, memory, and what it means to fly with a full heart.
