Illustrated by
Giselle Potter.
As a boy, William Cameron Coup left home to run away with the circus. Starting at the bottom, he eventually became one of the industry's most successful and inventive entrepreneurs. This picture book biography relates Coup's story in an accessible (if exclamation-point-heavy) way. Potter's illustrations are beautifully rendered, interpreting Coup's life and world with quirky energy and imaginative color.
