I was so happy to receive a copy of the special “Deluxe Gift Edition of THE DOT,” a picture book that encourages creativity, courage and collaboration. International DOT DAY is recognized all over the world and takes place on September 15th. This year I’ll be participating and celebrating by reading aloud THE DOT for kids and book lovers to watch and enjoy on my website, social media platforms, and Youtube Channel. THE DOT is written and illustrated by award-winning author Peter H. Reynolds, whose talented illustrations and writing has contributed to over 75 wonderful stories. Thank you @candlewickpress for inviting me to share in the celebration! 🟠 #etraintalks #literacyadvocate #readingcommunity #kidlit #thedot #internationaldotday #internationaldotday2026 #picturebook #picturebookillustration #kindergarten #bookmail
