The Dot
by Peter H. Reynolds, 2003

Years ago I had the pleasure and honor of sharing a dinner table with Peter Reynolds. Since that time I have joined the ranks of his millions of devoted fans. Peter and his twin brother, Paul, have formed a magical, wonderful company, FableVision (www.fablevison.com), devoted to teachers, students, and parents. All of Peter’s books address these three groups on many levels. I am recommending two of my favorites (see also The North Star): The Dot was was sparked by countless conversations with the hundreds of children Peter visits each year in schools across the globe, He has written and illustrated a deceptively simple story book - one that touches young and old alike. For anyone who has been afraid to express themselves - from a child in art class to an adult whose fear has shut down a long-held dream, The Dot is there to remind us all to "Make your mark, and see where it takes you." The Dot is the first in a trilogy that explores creative expression and human potential. ISBN: 0763619612
