Plot

This book is done entirely in silhouette, exploring the different shapes of objects.

The characters of two children, a boy and a girl are in dialogue about shapes. The two exchange their thoughts on how different shapes and objects are from each other. They exchange ideas of how big and small some objects are. In the end, they reach a realisation that no shape is exactly the same as the other. They even try to imagine themselves in different shapes (bodies).

They also conclude by being content with the way they are shaped. This suggests that they would not be happier in any other shape.
