A little girl's urban neighborhood becomes a discovery ground for all things round, square, and rectangular in this lyrical picture book. Most items are Asian in origin, others universal: round rice bowls and a found pebble, square dim sum and the boxes that the pizzas come in, rectangular Chinese lace and a very special pencil case. Bright, whimsical art accompanies the narrative rhyme, and a short glossary adds cultural significance to the objects featured in the book.

In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes togetherness and completeness and a full moon symbolizes reunion of the whole family. Mooncakes are traditionally enjoyed with family under the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but are a delicacy that can be enjoyed during special events through the year!
