Violette Around the World Books

Meet Violette, a curious 12-year-old girl who travels the world with the Cirque de la Lune–the Circus of the Moon, where her mother is the human cannonball and her father is the insect trainer! Sometimes she would give anything to have a normal life, parents with boring jobs, and a real house. But her life is different! In Paris, Violette meets Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a funny and eccentric painter who shows her how to appriciate all the joys of being different! Whimsical, adventurous, and fun. -Midwest Book Review
