From the creators of Not Little, the intrepid Dot is back with an endearing story about embracing the mistakes that let us build new skills.
Dot is good at a lot of things, but good isn’t perfect. Perfect is her sister’s blue ribbon painting, her brothers’ first-place tie in the spelling bee, or her mom’s black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Dot tries and tries, but all she has to show for it is funny-looking cupcakes, off-key piano squeaks, and almost-goals in soccer. Nothing she does is perfect.
When Dot and her classmates get an assignment to make a poster about a person they admire, Dot has someone in mind right away: her best friend, Sam. But draft after draft comes out looking all wrong! How will she ever make the perfect poster for her perfect friend?
Fans of Dot and Sam and new readers alike will melt as Dot keeps on trying in this relatable companion to Not Little, featuring Maya Myers’s effortless narrative voice and Hyewon Yum’s irresistible illustrations.
Hyewon Yum is the author and illustrator of several acclaimed books for children. Her titles include This Is Our House, The Twins’ Blanket, There Are No Scary Wolves, Last Night, winner of an Honorable Mention Bologna Ragazzi Award and an SCBWI Golden Kite Award, and Mom, It’s My First Day of Kindergarten!, which received the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award. She is also the illustrator of Maya Myers’s Not Little. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her family.
