Description
Spot or Not?
Ages 4 - 8 #1 in The More Than Art Series
A blue spot is having an identity crisis. He doesn't know his purpose or where he belongs. When he looks at the usual places where spots are found...they don't feel right. When he explores other identities...he can't relate. Could Spot be too close to see the big picture? Should he step back for a new point of view? Find out what happens when Spot changes his perspective to discover if he is a Spot or Not?
Author Susan Burnash and illustrator Stephen Stone take children on a lyrical journey that teaches them to look beyond names and expectations to find their identity and purpose. With a nod to the big picture concept of Pointillism Art, Spot or Not? connects the beauty of self-discovery with the uniqueness of art. The book includes information about Pointillism Art, artists, and paintings. It also includes a hands-on Pointillism activity that can be used in the classroom or at home.
Perfect for teachers, homeschoolers, STEAM curriculums, and International Dot Day.
