The Circles All Around Us

 
　　在周圍畫一個小圈圈，一開始這裡面只有我自己，但這就像只有一本書的圖書館，多無聊啊。於是我把這個小天地和家人分享，讓這個圈圈充滿更多歡笑。接著我邀請更多朋友也進來玩，讓圈圈變大，讓更多人知道自己也歡迎進入。我知道分享其實並不容易，每個人的個性和喜好都是那麼不一樣，但我發現愛的力量可以帶來更多美好。讓這個小圈圈便來越大，如同漣漪一般擴散，將愛和關懷分享到更多地方，讓自己成為世界更美好的起點。

　　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.

Brad Montague is creator of the hit web series Kid President, and Kid Congress, and author of the New York Times bestseller Kid President’s Guide to Being Awesome and Becoming Better Grownups. As an illustrator his work is regularly featured in Joanna Gaine’s The Magnolia Journal. He lives in Tennessee with his wife and kids.

Kristi Montague is a designer, maker and jack-of-all-trades who owns and operates Montague Workshop, a creative studio, with her husband Brad. From Kid President to books and birds and more, their studio aims to joyfully rebel against the world that is to create the world that could be. She’s also a mama to two kids and lives in a 117-year-old house in rural Tennessee.
