The Dot (Hardcover)

From Copperfields Books - "With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. 

Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." 

Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There " she says. 

That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us."

Color My Coral (Hardcover)

From Martin Pearl Publishing- "Color My Coral is a children's story book that takes readers on an adventurous dive into "turbulent seawaters" for a "deeper" look at the impact of pollution on coral reef habitat. Readers follow Loretta the Crab as she mistakes human garbage for "treasure" and injures the coral when she brings it home for decoration. This book contains many features that enhance literacy development such as vocabulary building, onomatopoeia and word sound repetition. Kids are captivated by the book's whimsical characters and delightful storyline while developing a valuable connection to the ocean and some of the marvelous creatures living there.
