The Dot Hardcover – Picture Book, September 15, 2003

The young woman who is a budding artist loved these books. Very inspirational. So happy I gifted them to her.

This book is so fun, so easy to read, and inspirational in that it encourages creative thinking as well as thinking about art in a different way. Everyone is creative in some way. This helps you think beyond the dot.

I love, love, love this book because it fosters creativity! It is good for both teachers and parents to read to their children. The message is that everyone can create art in his or her own way and we shouldn’t be afraid to try! After reading it, your child can explore making dots and mixing colors using paint and brushes or paint dot dabbers.

The story revolves around Vashti, a young girl who discovers her artistic potential through a simple dot. 🎨 Reynolds' narrative is not just about the act of drawing but a profound journey of self-discovery and confidence-building.What sets this book apart is its empowering message – that even a small dot can be the starting point for boundless creativity. As a parent, I appreciate how "The Dot" inspires conversations about self-expression, embracing imperfections, and the beauty of individuality. 🌟 It serves as a gentle nudge for both children and adults to take creative leaps and discover their unique talents.This is a timeless reminder that everyone has the potential to create something extraordinary. 📘✨

My little preschoolers live this story so much.

Great read

I love this book because no matter what you believe about your creative ability you will be encouraged to believe in yourself even more.

I really enjoyed this short children's book. I like the premise, the illustrations are fun, the only downside is that I wish the kindle version would allow you to do a "pinch to zoom" feature or something. There are times, especially on a smaller device, where it would be nice to zoom into some of the illustrations to get a better look. But as far as the book itself, I think it's wonderful!
