The Dot – by Peter Reynolds
A great story about a student who is hesitant to draw but
finds confidence and creativity and uses growth mindset to go for it. There was a cool lesson plan with this book I posted a few years ago here
Ish – by Peter Reynolds
Ramon is passionate about drawing but stops after his
older brother teases him about not knowing what he’s drawing. His little sister
helps him realize each drawing is an “ish” of something – there is nothing
perfect and everything is a work in progress. This book promotes growth mindset
and goes nicely with “The Dot” in freeing creativity.
