The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2022 features a new, interactive balloon honoring the beloved Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series, which you can see in our fanart Thanksgiving Parade Diary of a Wimpy Kid cursor pack. It is a book series and media franchise created by author and cartoonist Jeff Kinney. The story follows the daily adventures of Greg Heffley, a middle school student who illustrates his predicaments with simple drawings in his journal. The design of the balloon comes from the animated movie depicting Greg trying to touch The Cheese.
