About book Square Cat (2011)

It’s hard being a square cat in a round cat world. Eula doesn’t like being a square cat. The worst part was when she tipped over, it was hard to get back up. Her friends show her all the advantages of being square, but still the hardest part was when she tipped over, it was hard to get back up. Not so bad when your friends get into boxes and become square, too, and tip over with you and lay on your backs and gaze into the blue sky.“Eula was unhappy as a square cat.So unhappy that she lost her purr.Patsy and Maude tried to make Eula feel round.They gave her hoop earrings and a beehive hat.” Eula is so unhappy about being a square cat in a round world that she loses her purr. But with the help of her round feline friends, she realizes that there's wrong with being square. In fact, it just may offer its own benefits. The simple watercolor illustrations and text show just how hard it can be to accept yourself when even jumping for joy leaves you tipped over. In the end, this picture book delivers a solid message about self-acceptance and friendship.
