Perfect Square A Creative Pict

“A book that begs for reams of colored paper, rooms full of imaginative hands, and a whole lot of clapping and giggling.”—Washington Post

Michael Hall, the New
York Times bestselling author of My
Heart Is Like a Zoo and Red: A Crayon’s Story, inspires creativity and
resilience in this strikingly illustrated picture book starring a brightly
colored square. Perfect Square is the
perfect choice for teaching kids to think outside the box! Young readers will learn days of the week and colors of the rainbow, as well as emotional resilience.

In brilliant, innovative collage artwork, Michael Hall illustrates
how a happy square transforms itself after facing one challenge after another. Cut
into pieces and poked full of holes? Time to become a burbling fountain! Torn
into scraps? Grow into a garden! Day after day, the square reinvents itself, from
simple and perfect to complex and perfect . . . and always happy. 

“A near perfect concept book . . . a book to revisit often,
and with delight.”—The Horn Book

“Pages are lusciously intense as we watch versatility trump
geometry”—The Chicago Tribune
