Peter H. Reynolds

Join Avid on 9/15 at 1pm for a special Saturday Story Time to celebrate bravery, creativity, and self-expression, the themes in best-selling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds’ The dot, a “story book for all ages.”

We'll read The dot and have art and activities that will let your creativity bloom.

“The dot more than anything celebrates the power of creative teaching,” Reynolds explains. “Despite the test-centric world we live in, creative teachers know how to find those aha moments — much the same way that my 7th grade math teacher Mr. Matson ‘connected The dots’ between math and art, which changed my life.” To honor that moment, Reynolds dedicated The dot to Mr. Matson.

The dot tells the story of a caring teacher who reaches a reluctant student in a remarkably creative way. In Reynolds’ book, the teacher dares a very resistant Vashti to “make her mark.” Vashti’s breakthrough begins with a simple dot on a piece of paper. Encouraged by her teacher, she sets off on a journey of self-discovery, letting her creativity bloom and, ultimately, inspiring others.
