Ted like this book. We read it together with his brother Jack.
He liked the fact that the little girl Vashti, created paintings and drawings of all sorts of different dots.

One of my favourite books to teach pupils that as long as they try, there is worth in their work. A picture book with an important lesson.

I like it because it shows everyone can draw something, it doesn't have to be something amazing - even if it is a dot is kind of amazing!

It is interesting because it's telling us that we don't have to be experienced to do something you love.

Pleasing line drawings accompany a simple text with a positive message for young children who lack confidence in their artistic capabilities.

It wasn't as long as I thought it would be. It was very motivational to allow anyone to achieve what they want to achieve.

I liked it because Vashti was a great artist and in fact she made a sculpture.

It has made me want to do some drawing.
She says to sign it and I write my name at the bottom of all of my pictures.

I liked Vashti because she kept trying and trying to draw.

I would recommend this book.

This book can be used in many ways, not just to inspire reluctant artists, but for PSHE about taking the first step, having a go and then using your talent to help others. Perfect for the beginning of term and starting the right mindset!

Really nice sentiment

I liked the ending when the little girl helped the boy by copying the teacher

It is lovely.x

This got a top score because the girl doesn't know how to draw at the beginning but her teacher tells her to do a little mark and see where it takes her. This tells me to never give up because if you do, you'll never learn.

This is a very good book because it reminds us that we can all do art!

This book really shows how progress develops your skills and i really enjoyed it!

I think this is a book which is giving the reader a message. It’s saying everyone can draw if they try. I liked Vashti the best. I would definitely recommend it to someone else.

This book has really help me be proud of my pictures. They don't all have to be perfect and I love to make better pictures each time. I have lots of them signed and displayed in the kitchen.

I liked this book although it wasn’t really the type of book I liked, it is very short but it shows you that you can be creative even if you only draw a dot

I love painting and drawing too

A book that gives advice:Do not lose hope

21 Aug 2020

I enjoyed the book it was about a girl who thinks he can’t draw. She makes a mark and sees where it takes her. I would recommend this book.

19 Aug 2020

I enjoyed this book, I like it when Vashti was being nice to the boy at the end. I liked it when the boy said nice things about Vashti’s drawings. I think my friends would enjoy this book. This book has taught me to never give up and to keep trying.
