About this title

Synopsis

A heart-warming, inclusive, and whimsical picture book about a square trying to fit into a world of circles. This book celebrates what makes everyone unique and special.
 

• Perfect for teachers and parents to teach kids the importance of inclusivity.
• Great resource for discussing topics like acceptance, empathy, bullying, and more.
• A universal message that applies to anyone!

In a world of circles, Square feels different! In public, Square wears extra shapes to try to fit in, but pretending to be a circle all the time is hard work.

When Square trips and falls at a big, beautiful circle party, everyone learns the truth about Square’s identity. In the end, Square realizes many friends are different shapes, too, and learns to celebrate the uniqueness of every shape (including the square!).
