Librarianjk recommends Mirette on the High Wired


Mirette on the High Wire
by Emily Arnold McCully

Summary: Mirette learns tightrope walking from Monsieur Bellini, a guest in her mother's boarding house, not knowing that he is a celebrated tightrope artist who has withdrawn from performing because of fear.

This book has gorgeous illustrations and is wonderful for a discussion on overcoming fears.
