Written and Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds (Candlewick Press, 2003) Hardcover Book - 32 pages; 8 1/6" x 7 1/2" Age range: 5 years and up 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’ delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us. With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark - and follow where it takes us. Announcing The Dot animated film!
