Little Squarehead is the story of Rosa, a lonely young girl who is a bit different from other children--her head is shaped like a square.

Tormented by her classmates, Rosa runs deep into the forest where she discovers a mystical pool. In the clear water, she is amazed to see a brilliant diamond shining in her heart. “This diamond mirrors the beauty that shines within you,” a gentle voice tells her.

Thus begins Rosa’s quest to discover her inner strength. This delightfully illustrated book will inspire children of all ages to face life’s challenges and to celebrate their own uniqueness.

Each of our inspirational, award-winning children’s books has been selected from among the many hundreds of submissions we receive each year. We then find the perfect artist, whose vision and talent are unleashed to create a brilliantly illustrated, award-winning children’s picture book. Little Squarehead was a finalist for ForeWord Magazine's Best Children's Book award.
