A dot-shaped collector’s edition of the beloved picture book that has inspired millions of readers to make their mark!

Celebrate creativity and self-expression with the ultimate gift, a beautifully designed slipcase edition of The Dot.

Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. “Just make a mark and see where it takes you,” her teacher says. But Vashti can’t draw—she’s no artist. To prove her point, she jabs at the paper to make an unremarkable and angry dot. “There!” she says. But little does she know that one little dot can mark the beginning of a journey of surprise and self-discovery.

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, #1 New York Times bestselling creator Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark, express ourselves, and follow where it takes us.
Peter H. Reynolds is the illustrator of the Judy Moody and Stink books, the author-illustrator of The Dot, Ish, Sky Color, So Few of Me, The North Star, Rose’s Garden, and The Smallest Gift of Christmas, and the illustrator of many other picture books. Born in Canada, Peter H. Reynolds now lives in Dedham, Massachusetts.
