{"product_id":"the-circles-in-the-sky-karl-james-mountford-9781536224986","title":"The Circles in the Sky","description":"\u003cb\u003eWith luminous illustrations, this original folktale about the discovery of a lifeless bird offers a sympathetic exploration of grief, loss, and hope.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne morning, Fox is drawn toward the forest. There, in a clearing, he sees something small and silent, perhaps forgotten. It's a bird, lying as still as can be. Fox is confused, upset, and angry. Is the bird broken? Why doesn't it move or sing, no matter what Fox does? His curious antics are spied by a little moth, who shares a comforting thought about the circles in the sky--that the sun, even after it sets, is reflected by the moon and the stars, reminding us of its light. In an author-illustrator debut, Karl James Mountford pairs a text at once lyrical and humorous, meditative and down-to-earth with glorious, multilayered artwork that will take your breath away. Told with sensitivity and an enchanting visual style, this story of the ineffable nature of death and life has the feel of a universal folktale for modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl James Mountford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536224987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536224986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Studio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.06h x 8.08w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2022 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2022 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Karl James Mountford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052762099967,"sku":"9781536224986","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0eea15a2-bdcd-4e37-9699-667783ade831.jpg?v=1685020606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-circles-in-the-sky-karl-james-mountford-9781536224986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
