I love this. Geometry was the only math I could deal with ... to a point. Then those pesky formulas came along. But this is so much fun. Thank you, Grant.

This totally (kind of) reminds me of Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott! Well done

I remember reading that in high school and being transported! Also The Dot and the Line by Norton Juster

Wonderful!! Loved the geometry lesson along the way... And yes, we rhombus people often feel trapped.

It’s got Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel colors, a big fave. That 1950s kids’ book color palette is lost!

Kite wings ways with birds tails soaring high into the sky. Maybe a parallel cloud to meet. Look at this as geometric progression. Sky is the limit. Red color stands out ‘she’ fits in her shoes 👠 a slipper of delight, dole traveler to reach new heights. Thanksgiving treat.

Love this! Reminded me of The Point in the beginning (which also has an amazing soundtrack).
