LeVar experiences a colorful and exciting expedition in a hot-air balloon.

Simon's Book
LeVar takes viewers into the studio of the author of Simon's Book, Henry Drescher, to find out how he came up with the idea for his book and to look at the original illustrations. LeVar then visits the printing plant to watch as a book is printed, pages are cut to size, and the book is bound.

A Chair for My Mother
Just like the teamwork in this family, LeVar discovers how working together helps accomplish so much more than one individual working alone, as he joins a dance team and visits fire fighter's school.
