The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds is one of my favorite books. "The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe."

The book inspired International Dot Day (September 15), which is a "global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration."
