The Dot

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.
