The Dot Book by Peter H. Reynolds

The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds illustrates how one caring teacher’s actions can change a child's life. It’s the story of a teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. It shows how creative thinking can unlock a child's creativity, confidence, and growth. The Dot teaches students that even when you think you can't do something, with a little hard work and some positive self-talk you can do anything!

In this inspiring, award-winning story of self-expression, bravery and creative thinking, the author encourages even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark – and follow where it takes us. This story teaches children that it is not how well they can do something; it is the effort that they put into it that makes it their best.

Author's note
"The Dot is about getting started — getting un-stuck. It is also about creative teaching, exploring an idea in many ways, and sharing our gifts with others."
