Why a good book is a secret door (2014), the TED talk by MacBarnett.
From the publisher
This book is about Square. Square spends every day taking blocks from a pile below the ground to a pile above the ground. This book is also about Square s friend Circle. Circle thinks Square is an artistic genius. But is he really? With the second story in a trilogy of tales about Triangle, Square, and Circle, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen nudge readers toward a more well-rounded way of looking at things.
