Synopsis
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.

Reviews
PreS-Gr 2—It's an exciting day for the Great Bird Circus. The troupe is off to perform for the governor. After packing up their supplies and birds, the circus ringleader and his associate, a young girl named Paloma, travel through the mountains before encountering an agent at the border. In a comical spread, the agent informs the troupe that paperwork is needed for the birds to cross. Quick and innovative thinking by Paloma rectifies the situation painlessly and in an uncomplicated manner. As the group continues toward their destination, Paloma shares another superb idea: allowing the birds to fly free, outside of their cages. Minimal text, paired with Barroux's signature ink and acrylic illustrations, create enjoyable humor while emphasizing the story's themes of teamwork and creative problem-solving. Pair with Sam Usher's Free, Corey Tabor's Mel Fell, and Liz Garton Scanlon's One Dark Bird for bird and problem-solving units, lessons, or story times. VERDICT This playful take on finding solutions is a valuable addition to most collections.—Olivia Gorecke
