A story about happiness, differences and shapes!
Triangle is trying her best to fit in, but she's just not like the circles and the squares. So Triangle sets off to find some friends just like her. But being the same isn't as fun as she thought it would be and with the help of her friends Triangle learns to be happy just as she is.Meet Triangle and all the other shapes in this hilarious picture book about friendships, fun, and finding your place. No matter how hard she tries, Triangle doesn't roll like the circles, or stack like the squares . . . so she sets off to find friends that look exactly like her. But when she finds the other triangles, playtime isn't as fun. She misses the shapes that roll and stack; she misses having friends of all shapes and sizes! Can Triangle get all of the different shapes playing and having fun together?
