Bookroo's summary
Vashti sits frustrated before a blank page, convinced she can't draw. Her teacher's simple challenge to 'make a mark' ignites a surprising journey of self-discovery. As Vashti's confidence grows, so does her creativity, revealing the hidden artist within. What begins as a reluctant dot transforms into a world of possibilities, challenging Vashti to rethink her limits and embrace her potential. Will she find the courage to explore beyond the page?
"Now sign it."

“All about a little girl's journey to discover her artistic talent but more especially her self-confidence! I love that after a little encouragement from her very wise and positive teacher, she takes it upon herself to pass along the lesson she learned to a little boy in her same predicament.”
