5 out of 5 stars The perfect gift   February 14, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Anyone who works with children and reaches out to give them a sense of self-worth deserves this book as a gift. It is simple, gentle and touching. The Dot is the story of a child who is frustrated with the artwork she makes until a teacher tells her simply, "sign it". That small interaction gives the girl the confidence to take chances and grow until, ultimately, she's the one saying "sign it". This book speaks to the idea that teachers really do touch eternity...they never know where their influence will stop. If you have a favorite teacher, give him/her this book.


4 out of 5 stars Great confidence booster!   January 10, 2007
A beautifully written book to inspire all ages to be more courageous.


5 out of 5 stars The Dot   November 10, 2006
A reminder to adults to encourage: a reminder to young people to find self confidence and determination.


5 out of 5 stars powerful concept in a simple presentation   July 13, 2006

As a special education teacher I took a different message from the one intended by the author: when we honor what children CAN do, and give them the time/opportunity to demonstrate how far they can take that...they may surprise us, and even surprise themselves. I think it is particularly telling that the author/illustrator dedicated this book to his 7th grade /math/ teacher...clearly a teacher who could challenge/inspire/motivate his students to excell, even if that excelling was to be demonstrated in an area other than his own.br /br /Mrs. Robin Killoran

The Dot is an incredibly heart-felt story that should be shared in every classroom!
