I Wish I Was a Circus Star 

I wish I was A CIRCUS STAR; it’s always been my dream. To be a top performer, and be in the spotlights beam. My best pals name is Mousey; he’s a clever little chappie. he’s always with me by my side, which makes me very happy. A strikingly illustrated and entertaining story in rhyme about a little boy who was born into a circus family and his dream to become a circus star. This story will appeal to children who dream of becoming, well whatever they wish to be when they grow up. Whether it be a Circus Star, a Doctor, or an Artist. It also highlights that it isn’t always easy to live that dream! It takes a great deal of dedication and hard work to get there. Our story shows the many pitfalls our young boy encounters along the way, and finally how, through hard work and perseverance (and the help of his little friend, a tiny mouse) he is able to attain his dream of becoming a real CIRCUS STAR at last!
