 Once upon a time there was a dot in the big broad universe. One day, it gets tired of sitting still and starts to move around. The dot meets other dots and together they make shapes – squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. The shapes realize they can make a house. They are amazed by what they can make if they work together – highrises, the sun, the moon, and even a boy, a girl, and a cat. The brief text is accompanied by stark black and white drawings with bright red, yellow, and orange accents. The book is a celebration of creativity. mjw |
