A delightful book about resilience and focusing on the positives in life, despite the problems you may face.
Readers follow Square as he navigates all the difficulties of being a square – having his corners knocked and whacked by other shapes, and not being able to do things easily. He wishes to be different and to be a circle instead.
However, he realises it is not healthy to dwell on negative thoughts, and pledges to enjoy his life and all the positives of being a square. As a result, although his corners still get knocked, he doesn’t seem to mind so much. One day he wakes up to find his corners are gone and he has become a circle!
