The Dot

Features an audio read-along!

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H.

Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark - and follow where it takes us.

Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper.

The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself.

But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist.

To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says.

That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery.

That special moment is the core of Peter H.

Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.
