A beautiful and sensitive exploration of grief, loss and hope from Karl James Mountford, in his much-awaited author-illustrator debut.<\/span><\/h3>\n

One day, Fox is drawn to something in the forest \u2013 it\u2019s something small, something silent, perhaps forgotten. It\u2019s a bird, as still as can be. Fox is confused, upset and angry \u2013 is the bird broken? But then a little moth comes along. Kind and wise and comforting, Moth shares a gentle philosophy to help Fox understand: the story of the circles in the sky. Told with sensitivity and style, Karl James Mountford weaves a story of grief, loss and, most importantly, hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
