Celebrate Dot Day 2023
A Special Message from Peter H. Reynolds
This year marks the 20th anniversary of my book, The Dot, as we launch into the 15th year of International Dot Day. It is a joy to see how my picture book has sparked so much Dot Day creativity around the world! Because of support from educators like YOU, we now have over 27 million participants in 200 countries/territories who are making their mark on Dot Day – and the tally keeps growing!
Keep making your mark . . . and see where it takes you!
Wishing you the best Dot Day ever - and the most creative year yet,
P.S. Please keep sharing your videos and photos on social media and tag with #InternationalDotDay, so we can follow your celebrations.
Give a listen to this special message:
