PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

One little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery in Peter H. Reynolds' multi-award-winning modern classic.

Description

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 angry mark. "There!" she says.

That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.

Critic Reviews

A real can-do book...Feisty drawings make this book enjoyable to look at and empowering to cynical little souls who just can't do stuff, and don't care either. The Guardian
...the quirky little story reminds children (and their parents) that whatever it is you can do, you should just get on and do it. The Observer
