Circus Girl – Tomek Bogacki

The power and influence that one little girl has on the development of a friendship, between two little boys who have never really noticed each other but are in the same class, is a sweet and encouraging tale.  The little girl who is a member of the circus and will only be attending the school for the duration of the time the circus is in town befriends a shy, quiet little boy and then helps him find a friend.  The illustrations in Circus Girl are outstanding and bring the text to life.  Particularly enjoyable for young readers are the images of circus life under the big top as well as behind the scenes.
