~Synopsis
A story about how a spunky young girl
helps a high-wire performer regain
his nerve. Set in late-19th-century
Paris, this story is illustrated with
watercolor and gouache paintings.
~ Mirette learns tightrope walking
from Monsieur Bellini, a guest in her
mother's boarding house, not knowing
that he is a celebrated tightrope
artist who has withdrawn from
performing because of fear.
