Author's note
"The Dot is about getting started — getting unstuck. It is also about creative teaching, exploring an idea in many ways, and sharing our gifts with others."
Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, she 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.
Drawing is what Ramon does. It's what makes him happy. But in one second, all that changes. Luckily for him though, his little sister sees the world differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than getting things just "right."
Marisol loves to paint. So when her teacher asks her to help make a mural for the school library, she can’t wait to begin! But how can Marisol make a sky without blue paint?
