Shapes like to play. They like hiding inside other shapes. They might appear different, or completely disappear, but when you divide them, subtract them, enlarge them, turn them, slide them, or flip them, you will see what they are and how they hide. In this simple book, you can discover basic concepts of transformational geometry, scale, proportion, axis, symmetry, and reflection. Can you find all of the playful shapes?

Autorenporträt
Jin Choi was born and raised in South Korea. She earned a Master's degree in architecture at Yale University,where she met her husband, Thomas. Together, they founded an architectural practice in Boston, with projects rangingfrom product design and architecture to infrastructure and public art installations. Jin first created Shapes at Play, then a handcrafted book, for their childwhen he was only a few months old. She wanted to "tickle his brain" withshapes that are related and transformed and demonstrate how to recognize them. With the inspiring giggles and contemplative long gazes she received from her son, Jin was encouraged to create more books for young children in the future. Visit her website at www.choishine.com.
