About the Book
Peter H. Reynolds' simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations entice even the self-doubting creatives to make their mark. Vashti's art class is over, but she's staring at a blank piece of paper. Her teacher's words are a gentle invitation to speak up. But Vashti can't draw - she's not an artist. Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to show her point. The dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey to self-discovery. This special moment is at the heart of Peter H. Reynolds' classic tale.
