A delicate little book, with lots of creative ideas in terms of both copy and visuals.
I'm not sure what age group is the target audience but my 4.5-year-old definitely does not understand abstract concepts like "the shape of order is numbers" or "the shape of learning is a question". No matter how beautiful the language of the book. Which is indeed poetic, as well as thought-provoking. As an adult, I did like it.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for an Advance Review Copy.
