A beautiful and sensitive exploration of grief, loss and hope from Karl James Mountford, in his much-awaited author-illustrator debut. One day, Fox is drawn to something in the forest ‿ it‿s something small, something silent, perhaps forgotten. It‿s a bird, as still as can be. Fox is confused, upset and angry ‿ is the bird broken? But then a little moth comes along. Kind and wise and comforting, Moth shares a gentle philosophy: the story of the circles in the sky. Told with huge sensitivity and style, this story of grief and hope feels like a folk tale for modern times.
