📖 The Dot

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 angr y mark . "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discover y. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us. This book has won the Oppenheim Platinum Toy Award, Borders Books' Original Voices 2003 Award, and the Christopher Medal, as well as the American Librar y Association's 2005 Carnegie Medal of Excellence for the book's animated adaptation.
