New Book
The debut picture book from the creator of the viral sensation Kid President is a moving take on how we can create bigger and bigger circles of community and connections as we grow—now a New York Times bestseller! In the circles all around us, everywhere that we all go, there’s a difference we can make and a love we can all show. This is the story of a circle. When we’re first born, our circle is very small, but as we grow and build relationships, our circle keeps getting bigger and bigger to include family, friends, neighbors, community, and beyond. Brad Montague originally created Circles as an Instagram video adorably narrated by his kids, and now this picture book adaptation is the perfect way to start a conversation about how to expand our worlds with kindness and inclusivity—even if it seems scary or uncomfortable. This book makes an ideal new-baby, first-day-of-school, or graduation gift, or any milestome that celebrates someone’s world getting bigger.

About the Illustrator:
From Kristi Montague: I’m a photographer, designer and mom. I’ve been married to Brad for over 13 years, and we have a six year old son named Miles and a four year old daughter named Matilda! Brad is the creator/writer/director of Kid President, a web series he started with my younger brother Robby. In January 2012, when Miles was only 7 weeks old, a video they made went viral, flipping our world upside down and allowing lots of opportunities to spread our joyful rebellion. I spent almost 11 years as a graphic designer and photographer at a small private Christian university, but now I spend my time on creative projects with Brad and being a mom. When we aren’t traveling as a family to work on projects, we are working at our studio, Montague Workshop, and spending time with our family in our 119-year old house in a small town in Tennessee.
