The Heart of the Bubble

A Story by Trace Balla

A story of 2020 vision set in the time of corona, by the much loved author of Rivertime, Rockhoping and Landing With Wings. A touching tale of a families awakening to what really matters.

This is the story of a family’s unexpected reconnection during the corona pandemic “lockdown”. The young girl Bimbi leads her parents from isolation to gradually adjust and reconnect with her, each other, neighbours and the outdoors… to slow down and rediscover what really matters. Bimbi manages to create a sense of community with her neighbours and those she sees regularly on their walks in the parklands. The story is filled with humour as well as poignant moments portrayed in a gentle way. There is also a sense of hope as a portrayal of how they come out the other side of the pandemic, changed to a new way of being.
