Feeling left out and alone she is sitting on a park bench when she realizes that she has points and these allow her to do something that the circles can’t, she can spin… While she is experimenting with her new found talent she discovers that there are lots of other shapes in the world and they all can do their own unique things… In the end she learns the most important rule is to be your self.
