Mr. Square一直覺得生活好辛苦——他有四個尖角，總被撞得疼痛不已，走起路來也顛簸又笨拙。每天，他都在抱怨命運不公，直到有一天，他決定改變想法。Mr. Square開始學會看見生活中的小美好：夏日裡的涼風吹拂、朋友溫暖的笑容、還有那杯酸甜的自製檸檬汁。慢慢地，他發現，雖然生活仍有碰撞與挫折，但心情卻不再那麼沉重。奇妙的是，他的邊角也開始變得圓潤起來——原來，每一次被撞、每一次受傷，都在幫助他成長、讓他更懂得包容。這是一個溫暖又有力量的故事，教我們學會從逆境中找到光亮，讓自己成為更柔軟、更快樂的「圓」人。

An uplifting, perceptive rhyming story about life's ups and downs, and how those experiences help shape us into well-rounded people. Square used to have FOUR straight sides and FOUR pointy corners, and this made life pretty tough. His corners always got knocked and travelling was an awkward, bumpy ride. Until one day, Square realised that dwelling on those thoughts was far from smart or wise. Instead he pledged to see the positives - like the cooling breeze on summer days, a friend's smile and the taste of homemade lemonade. And while Square still got bashed and bruised, he didn't seem to mind so much. Then, unnoticed at first, Square slowly got rounder and rounder everyday. . . This heartening story is a beautiful, accessible metaphor that shows how our experiences contribute to who we are, and how even though life can be difficult, there is always good to be found. Brought to life through Simon Philip's joyful rhyming text and Neil Clark's bold and bright illustrations, it's the perfect book for fans of Look Up, The Koala Who Could and Blown Away.
