Book recommendation: The Dot

Buy it: The Dot

The Dot (By Peter H. Reynolds) – Vashti insists she can’t draw and makes a single dot on her paper in art class. Her teacher asks her to sign it and then frames it and hangs it up. Vashti decides she can do better than that and starts painting dots of all sizes and colors. At the school art show, all of her dot creations are put on display. A boy tells Vashti that he wishes he could draw too. So Vashti asks him to draw a line on a piece of paper. After he does, Vashti asks him to sign it. A great story about the many ways to express yourself artistically.
