Summary: This book tells the story about Vashti who claims she can’t draw. The teacher asks her to draw a dot and then sign her drawing. The next day, Vashti sees that her drawing was beautifully framed and hanging on the wall above the teacher’s desk. This encourages her to paint all kinds of dots, and at the school art show, Vashti’s dots makes a great success.
