Happy Book Birthday, LOVE, TRIANGLE!
I’m so happy to wish LOVE, TRIANGLE by
Marcie Colleen and Bob Shea the very happiest of book birthdays! LOVE, TRIANGLE
was a special project right from the start – when Marcie and I first met to
discuss representation, we talked over a number of her manuscripts. She
mentioned a story she had brewing – nothing to share yet – about a Circle and a
Square who have been friends forever…
…Circle
and Square just fit, the way best friends do. Then someone new comes
along: Triangle. Triangle is different, bold, inspiring. A wedge
develops between Circle and Square and before long, they find they no longer
fit the way they used to. Can this friendship for two grow to become one for
three?
The genius of LOVE,
TRIANGLE is its geometry-inspired wordplay, but the story will resonate with
even the youngest readers – after all, you don’t have to understand the
Pythagorean Theorem to know what it’s like when a friendship gets bent out of
shape, and needs to be put back together again.
Well, of course I was intrigued! Marcie sent me the text a
year after we began working together. We were both thrilled when it found a
happy home at Balzer + Bray, and Bob Shea was able to create the charming, clever
illustrations.
Please find this book at your library or local bookstore – it
is a real delight!
