Hello—can I play with you? For a child, the entire world hangs on the answer to that question. But what happens if the response is NO?
Lonely Little Smudge is searching everywhere for a friend—and when it sees a group of shapes playing together it thinks the wish has come true. But the colorful squares, triangles, diamonds, and circles all think Smudge is just too different…until it shows them all the amazing shapes it can form, and how magical its difference can be.
With bold, bright, and always surprising images—which range from abstract to cubist—this very special picture book not only celebrates the power of the individual but provides an appealing introduction to modern art.

Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1—Spare pages with graphic illustrations reveal the story of a little black smudge who searches for friends. He finds some colorful shapes, but they reject him. Encouraged by his parents to show them what he can do, he displays his remarkable shape-changing abilities. And then he teaches the other shapes how they can do the same. The language seems a bit stilted. The illustrations, however, are wonderful. Le Néouanic gives thanks to Leo Lionni, Joan Miró, and Henri Matisse for inspiration. Their influence on his art is obvious, especially when the colored shapes begin changing. The story is slight, but the shape-changing is creative and fun.—Mary Hazelton, Elementary Schools in Warren & Waldoboro, ME
