Synopsis

An uplifting, perceptive rhyming story about life's ups and downs, and how those experiences help shape us into well-rounded people.

Square used to have FOUR straight sides and FOUR pointy corners, and this made life pretty tough. His corners always got knocked and travelling was an awkward, bumpy ride. Until one day, Square realised that dwelling on those thoughts was far from smart or wise. Instead he pledged to see the positives - like the cooling breeze on summer days, a friend's smile and the taste of homemade lemonade. And while Square still got bashed and bruised, he didn't seem to mind so much.

Then, unnoticed at first, Square slowly got rounder and rounder everyday. . .

This heartening story is a beautiful, accessible metaphor that shows how our experiences contribute to who we are, and how even though life can be difficult, there is always good to be found. Brought to life through Simon Philip's joyful rhyming text and Neil Clark's bold and bright illustrations, it's the perfect book for fans of Look Up, The Koala Who Could and Blown Away.
