The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds is a delightful children’s picture book that encourages creativity and self-expression. The protagonist, Vashti, is a young girl who believes she can’t draw and lacks artistic talent. After an art class where she feels stuck, her teacher gives her a simple instruction: “Just make a mark and see where it takes you.” Vashti defiantly jabs the paper with a single dot, dismissing it as unremarkable. However, that seemingly insignificant dot becomes the catalyst for her creative journey.
