THE SURPRISE CIRCUS is an inspiring and imaginative children’s book which takes an important message to children: When you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything—even something as amazing as a circus. In the book, six-year-old Aria is disappointed because the circus doesn’t come to her town, so she calls the ringmaster. Each week, the ringmaster sends her a circus character whose mischievous antics will delight and dazzle children. The strongman lifts all the furniture, the juggler throws her baby sister in the air, the fire eater burns down the curtains, the clowns throw her mommy’s fresh baked pie in the air, and more.

This book is sure to delight children ages 3-8 years old, as well as those who are young at heart!

"I’m Olivia Targett, and, quite by chance, Dr. Carol saw my illustrations on Facebook. She says it was my style and whimsy that caught her attention. She was looking for someone who could capture the feel of Andy Warhol and also the be in synch with children and their wonderful, exciting imaginations.

Dr. Carol drew a picture of a character which is attached. She said she’s not an artist, but it was pretty good. I then gave her my version and we were off and running. She loved my very first illustration. Then it was like we read each other’s mind. She’d tell me about the funny of a circus character’s funny escapades, and I’d draw. For example, she told me about the juggler who throw’s Aria’s baby sister in the air so I drew a baby with her butt at the top of the page and her legs dangling. It was so much fun and, so far, many children giggle when they see this and other drawings. I’ll start posting them here!"
