Summary

This volume is dedicated to that most priceless of possessions, the hearts of children, still innocent and unsullied by the world.
Herein are 16 priceless “When” stories where children are told “when” things came about to shape the animal world – stories like “When Mr. Bluebird Won His Beautiful Coat”, “When Mr. Moose Lost His Horns”, “When Mr. Kingfisher Took To The Ground” and many more. The stories are accompanied by eight full-page colour plates.
Thornton Waldo Burgess (January 17, 1874 – June 5, 1965) was an American conservationist and author of children's stories. Burgess loved the beauty of nature and its living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years in books and his newspaper column, “Bedtime Stories.” He was sometimes known as the Bedtime Story-Man. By the time he retired, he had written 9 “Mother West Wind” books, more than 170 books and 15,000 stories for the daily newspaper column.

    We Are A Circus is the charming tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
    
    As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
    
    Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
    We are a circus.
    Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
    (Fortunately means "happiness")
    We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!
    
    I am kidding. Animals would never do this.
