"A magical circus becomes a vehicle for a thoughtful message of conservation in this dreamy picture book. In a village 'with too many worries and too few trees, ' feathers float down from the sky--invitations to the legendary Flying Circus. As the audience gathers, they are treated to a show of sprouting forests, crashing waves, breaching whales, and juggling bears before being sent on their way with two souvenirs: a seed and a reminder to protect all the wonders Earth has to offer." --Foreword
