The missing piece sat alone, waiting for someone to take it somewhere. Many came along, but nothing seemed to fit or be excatly what the missing piece wanted/needed, nothing seemed to be the right thing. There were many different good things, but there was something wrong that went along with them. The missing piece tried all that it could do to get other to notice it. Nothing seemed to work. FINALY the missing piece found where it it!! They were happy!! Then something happened, the missing piece started GROWING!! Soon it did not fit anymore, and so it was left alone again. One day something different came along,The Big O, this didnt need a missing piece because it was whole, but the missing piece wanted to be apart of it. It was told that they could not roll together, but maybe it could roll by itself. The missing piece did not understand, it cannot roll. So as the Big O rolled off it told the missing piece the it needed to try, maybe its corners would wear off. The missing piece just sat there. Then, it tired. It fliped, it pulled, and then it flopped. Soon after a while of that the corners started to wear down! The shape started to change. It soon started bumping...bouncing...ROLLING! It did not care where it was going only that it was rolling. It rolled along, met up with the Big O and they rolled off together.
I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone, no matter how old you are everyone should read this book.
