Feeling unappreciated, an acrobat leaves the circus and does his best to entertain some children in a park. Unfortunately, no one pays attention to anything he does. When he gives up and feeds the birds instead, something extraordinary happens--and he has a brand new act. With an expressive black line and areas of bright color, Alborozo creates eye-catching compositions that help tell his quietly satisfying story.
