The Dot, written and illustrated by Peter Reynolds, is about a girl named Vashti who doubts her abilities. Her art teacher encourages her to "make her mark" by creating a dot. The book's message encourages us to express ourselves in our own unique ways. 

International Dot Day, September 15, celebrates our creativity!

This year, third graders created their own dots to celebrate International Dot Day.
