- About godwit and their journey around the world during migration.

- I would read this aloud as it is short and Informational. I also really like the art style, collages. It is something fun and different.

“Circle” is an informational book but is told by a little boy in a wheelchair that is imagining himself as flying with the birds. The whole story is focusing on the flock of godwit birds. The story is factual because it talks about migration, urbanization, and pollution. But, there is an underlying message focusing on the boy himself if you pay attention to the illustrations and the wording of the story. The boy focuses on one bird and keeps calling it the “the godwit with white patches” connecting to him as “the boy with the wheelchair/crutches.” Which can connect to the message of the story, which is being a little different does not mean it needs to hold you back in life.
