Beloved in classrooms around the world, The Dot tells the story of a girl who begins a journey of self-discovery after she is challenged by her teacher to “make her mark.” Big Screen Books makes The Dot larger than life, offering students new opportunities to explore the importance of being brave, nurturing creativity, and encouraging others.
"Big Screen Books shares stories that promote bravery, empathy, vision, patience, and creativity. When you remind students of these ‘gifts’ in their ‘journey backpacks,’ they can succeed not only in school, but in life."
— Peter H. Reynolds, Creator & New York Times Best-Selling Author/Illustrator
