A celebration of thinking outside the box--or cage!
The Great Bird Circus is headed to a big show, but they run into trouble
when they reach the border. Paloma and the ringmaster are allowed to
cross--but their birds need paperwork, and lots of it! The situation
seems hopeless, unless ... what if there's more than one way to get
across?
With Paloma's quick and creative thinking, she's able to outwit the
bureaucracy and come up with a solution: they free the birds from their
cages, and while Paloma and the ringmaster drive across the border in
their truck, the birds fly overhead! When the circus is reunited on the
other side, Paloma suggests the birds don't need cages--they can fly
free.
Minimal text, light humor, and loose illustrations work together to
express big ideas simply in this uplifting story that prizes
problem-solving and creative thinking.
