Square Cat by Elizabeth Schoonmaker

2011/32 pgs

About the Book: Eula is a square cat. When she falls over, it's hard to get up. Circle skirts just don't work on her. It's tough being a square cat when everyone else is round. But Eula has friends who accept her and help her get her purr back.

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: This is a creative take on acceptance. Poor Eula doesn't feel like she fits in and is sad about being a square cat. But luckily she has great friends who help her see the good things about being a square cat. I thought the best part of the book were Eula's friends, who don't make fun of her but help her embrace her squareness-a great lesson for kids. Pair this with Spork by Kyo Maclear for fun unique picture books on accepting who you are.
