This unique little book shows life confused, conflicted, and enriched by diversity. A fanciful world of "perfect squares" must cope with new rectangles, triangles, circles, "gons" and other weirdos, each with distinct personalities and predilections. In this quirky story, creativity and teamwork work wonders. Principles of human relations, change management, even Quality Management are exemplified in a simple, amusing story that appeals to many ages and backgrounds. The author has also designed PERFECTLY SQUARE-related seminars, "SELFSHAPES" and "RELATIONSHAPES," and adapted short programs targeted for specific audiences (such as "Your Church Is NOT Perfectly Square,") and created a script for delightful small-scale theatrical productions with a diversity of musical instruments reflecting the book's shape characters. All have successfully premiered in Pensacola, FL. Dr. Dolly Haik-Adams Berthelot is a human communication specialist and writer.
