This book is really a great metaphor on connections we need to make life beautiful. It was published in 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic and I have to wonder if that was one of the precursors for the author to write the book. If not, it sure is a great commentary on how it is important that we have good connections. I think it could also lead to a great discussion on racism and acceptance. It could be a great end of year story too about how we have had all these people in our circle and now this year is ending and a beginning naturally comes up with a new circle.
Goodreads says:
The debut picture book from the creator of the viral sensation Kid President is a moving take on how we can create bigger and bigger circles of community and connections as we grow—now a New York Times bestseller!
In the circles all around us, everywhere that we all go, there's a difference we can make and a love we can all show.
This is the story of a circle. When we're first born, our circle is very small, but as we grow and build relationships, our circle keeps getting bigger and bigger to include family, friends, neighbors, community, and beyond. Brad Montague originally created Circles as an Instagram video adorably narrated by his kids, and now this picture book adaptation is the perfect way to start a conversation about how to expand our worlds with kindness and inclusivity—even if it seems scary or uncomfortable. This book makes an ideal new-baby, first-day-of-school, or graduation gift, or any milestone that celebrates someone's world getting bigger.
