About the Book
For over 30 years the Great Circus Parade recreated the excitement and anticipation of the circus coming to town.
Originating in Baraboo, Wisconsin, the home of the Ringling Brothers Circus and the Circus World Museum, the circus parade included dozens of ornately colored horse-drawn wagons, clowns, acrobats, horseback riders, and caged animals.
And all were on their way, to the Circus Train, which would transport them to sites around the country near and far to the delight of children, old and young alike.
The illustrations are based on actual photos of the Great Circus Parade.

About the Creator
Jonathan Franklin
Oak Park, IL
As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
