Talking of the inspiration behind the book, the Jones’ said, “As our children have grown up, we’ve always encouraged them to try new things and not to give up when something doesn’t work out first time. We wanted to create a story about a character who sets out to do something that seems impossible but through perseverance and imagination, achieves his dreams.”

Circle loves the tower that the squares and hexagons have built and wants to make his own. But circles, diamonds and triangles are pointier, rounder and much wobblier - making a tower is not as easy as it looks! The shapes try and try but their tower just keeps tumbling down.

Can Circle persuade them to have just one more try? In this perfectly shaped follow up to the bestselling The Perfect Fit geometry meets brilliant storytelling and vibrant artwork.
