Summary: Oliver is a puzzle. As he looks around other puzzle pieces have found a group of friends they fit in with. Oliver tries to be part of a pirate puzzle, but doesn’t quite fit in. He attempts a variety of other pictures with no luck. He eventually he is so frustrated he decides to tape and glue himself up in attempt to change who he is. That still doesn’t help. Will he ever find a place he belongs?
Review: This book is one of my favorites because of its theme, acceptance. Not only acceptance within a group, but within yourself. Oliver tries his hardest to fit in, but all he had to do was be patient and wait to find where he truly belonged. Once he finds it, the pure joy of the realization makes the whole story so beautiful. The illustrations are also beautiful and make it so fun to read.
