What is The Balloon Tree about?

Princess Leora loves balloons, so when her father leaves for a tournament, he asks her to send a balloon into the sky if the kingdom is in danger. Soon, a scheming archduke locks Leora away and orders every balloon to be destroyed. With help from a wizard and a brave boy who has saved the last balloon, Leora discovers a magical solution: a tree that grows balloons. Can its astonishing harvest reach the king before the kingdom is taken over?
