We know that teachers are some of the most inspirational people in children’s lives. And that fact is beautifully illustrated in “The Dot,” written and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. A little encouragement from our amazing teachers can help children see the beautiful in the mundane and realize they have the potential to do anything they set their minds to.
