[kids-lib] Book stumper

[Molly Carlisle]

The plot details and age of the book don't quite match, but the red hair and incredible illustrations do. Could it be Mirette on the High Wire<http://www.amazon.com/Mirette-Highwire-Caldecott-Medal-Book/dp/0399221301>?

Subject: [kids-lib] Book stumper

Hi! I have a patron looking for a book, this is all the patron was able to tell us:

"I'm looking for a children's book about a stranger with bright red hair who comes to town and is a trapeze artist by night. The illustrations are incredible but I have no information on the author or book title. She might have been a school teacher, and all of the illustrations are painted. It's around the same age as the dr seuss books."

Do any of you know what book this might be?

Thanks,
Katie
