Today is our daughter’s first day of middle school, and the message of The Dot seemed the perfect way to start the year. Looking forward to a great one!
The Dot is perhaps my favorite picture book of all time. The Dot introduces us to Vashti a little girl who is not very eager about art class. Her art teacher encourages her to “make her mark”. With gentle guidance from her teacher, Vashti’s natural abilities as an artist as well as a teacher develop. Ultimately, the simple text and accessible pictures pull the reader into Vashti’s story. The profound impact of the words and actions of a teacher are highlighted and the power of enthusiasm and encouragement are reinforced.
Our family became fans of Marty Machowski after reading his earlier work – Ology. Don’t Blame the Mud is another winner! This impactful book shares the gospel message is a memorable way. Of special note are the pictures within the book. They really bring the text to life.

Previously is a clever tale that weaves a number of fairy tales together by approaching each one by looking at what occurred previously to the part of the story commonly known by the reader. Although this initially appears to be a simple picture book, it would be a tremendous tool to use with older students to start a discussion about a character’s choices in a piece of literature as well as exploring historical context of events. This one is a winner!
