This has to be one of the loveliest books I have ever seen. Created by Tina Kraus as part of her design/illustration final exams, Circus Zingaro is a story about a homeless girl who wants to join a travelling circus. Unfortunately the book is not in print, and I don't know if there are any plans to print it in the future, but you can bet your bottom dollar I will be following Tina's website closely for any such news!

Thank you so so much!
I really appreciate all the nice words! *blush*
I don't have a publisher for the book yet, but I am working on it. However, in order to get it published I will have to redo some parts of the book for the production since it is too delicate as it is. Please be patient, it is still a long way to go! Thanks again! *Tina
