A truck rumbling by to deliver the mail, a silvery cart with hot
pretzels for sale, and stacks of brown packages hauled up the
stairs... Some shapes in the city are... on-the-go squares! City
Shapes is an ode to city life, depicted from the points of view of
a young girl walking through her neighborhood and a bird flying
high above, both spotting dazzling shapes in every scene they pass.
From the shimmering skyscrapers to the bustling marketplace, the
kites flying free in the sunlight to the stars shining bright at
night, everyday scenes become extraordinary. Diana Murray's playful
and poetic verse encourages readers to look for shapes everywhere,
noticing the hidden details in even the simplest of scenes around
them every day. And Bryan Collier's beautiful illustrations add
even more layers to the cityscapes, letting readers get immersed in
the hustle and bustle, culminating in a thrilling twist when the
girl looks through her kaleidoscope and sees the skyline in a
completely new way. A celebration of finding magic in scenes both
new and familiar, City Shapes has the potential to become a
classic.
