Shapesville - Paperback

by Andy Mills (Author), Becky Osborn (Author), Erica Neitz (Illustrator)

Shapesville is a small town where five friends of various shapes, sizes, colors, and talents discuss their differences and celebrate what makes each of them unique. Simple, rhyming verse and bold, playful illustrations of basic shapes and colors introduce these charmers: red rectangle Robbie, yellow circle Cindy, blue square Sam, orange diamond Daisy, and green triangle Tracy. These endearing characters show that "it's not the size of your shape or the shape of your size, but the size of your heart that deserves first prize." Questions at the end encourage discussion of these characters and what they mean.

Author Biography

Remarkably, the three co-authors are recent graduates from small Kenyon College in Gambier, OH, where they wrote Shapesville as an independent study project. Finding a publisher for their book defied millions to one odds! Andy Mills and Becky Osborn received their B.A. degrees in Psychology, and Erica Neitz, the illustator, graduated with a B.A. in Art. All of them will be actively marketing the book.
