Former SNL writer and comedic rising star Julio Torres takes readers on a journey through the lives and intimate dramas of some of the unsung shapes of our time in this picture book inspired by his HBO special My Favorite Shapes.
Shapes. You’ve heard of them. You might have even interacted with a few. But do you really know them? From plucky Plunger, who wishes to defy his shape and become a beautiful vase, to other household objects with dreams of a life beyond their predestined roles, I Want to Be a Vase takes readers on an essential and visually stunning journey through the lives and intimate dramas of often-overlooked household appliances.

Julio Torres is an award-winning Salvadoran American writer, director, comedian, and author. His picture book, I Want to Be a Vase, illustrated by animator and designer Julian Glander, was inspired by his HBO stand-up special My Favorite Shapes. He also created, wrote, directed, and starred in the one-man show Color Theories, which was filmed during its sold-out Off-Broadway run and debuted as an HBO special. He cocreated and starred in the series Los Espookys and wrote, directed, and starred in HBO’s Fantasmas, both of which won Peabody Awards. Torres made his feature directorial debut with A24’s Problemista and earned four Emmy nominations for his work on Saturday Night Live. Across books, film, television, and the stage, he explores humor, absurdity, and the small, often-overlooked details of everyday life.
