博客來創造力啟發+自我肯定認同
享譽世界的經典繪本，鼓勵孩子展現獨特
每個孩子在成長階段，或多或少都會碰上挫折，那種他們覺得自己做不到某件事的沮喪時刻。來自加拿大的知名童書創作者彼得．雷諾茲（Peter H. Reynolds），以最簡單的方式告訴孩子「你做得到」，有時候我們需要的只是一點鼓勵和堅持，換個角度思考，小小的魔法就能因此誕生。
雷諾茲最具代表性的作品《創意畫筆》三部曲，作品中傳達相信每個孩子都有自己獨特創造力的信念，以巧妙的方法幫助孩子建立信心，勇敢展現自己的內在潛力。出版以來廣獲好評，《點》在全世界被翻成超過20種語言，並曾改編為電影，榮獲美國圖書館協會卡內基獎。
為啟發兒童展現創造力，美國愛荷華州教育專家Terry Shay於2009年在課堂中發起以《點》為主題的活動。紀念該書的出版日，每年九月擴大舉辦International Dot Day的活動，越來越多教育機構和學生熱烈響應，迄今已有來自189個國家，共1800萬名教師、學生和圖書館員參與過該活動。從一個小小的點開始，影響力擴散到世界更多角落，讓鼓勵和肯定幫助孩子相信自己，為每個孩子帶來溫暖信心。
套書包含以下內容：
1. The Dot
今天是美術課，到了下課時間，Vashti的圖畫紙卻還是一片空白。老師看見空白的圖畫紙對她說：「這是暴風雪中的北極熊。」接著要她隨便在紙上畫了個點，然後請她在紙上簽名。
過了一個星期，Vashti在美術教室看見上次畫的那一幅畫，沒想到作品不但被裱上外框，還被掛在牆上！看著這幅畫，Vashti心想自己可以畫得比這幅畫更好，於是她拿起了塵封已久的水彩開始創作。幾個星期之後，學校的美術展展出Vashti的作品，而且還頗受好評。有個小男孩看到後很羨慕，跟Vashti說自己連直線都畫不好，Vashti於是對男孩說……
書中的小主角原本對自己很沒自信，認為自己不會畫畫而自暴自棄。幸好她遇見一位好老師，以另類的方式來鼓勵她畫畫，並且給她機會表現，增加她的自信心。彼得．雷諾茲以簡單的故事與簡單的插畫，構成了這本給人無比信心的書。

1. The Dot
With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us.
Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you."
Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says.
That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.
2. ISH
A creative spirit learns that a drawing doesn't have to look exactly like anything in this gentle fable from the creator of the award-winning, bestselling picture book The Dot.
An inspiring, encouraging story for budding artists everywhere, the acclaimed illustrator of The Dot, Sky Colour and the Judy Moody series tells the story of Ramon, who loves to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere. Drawing is what Ramon does. It's what makes him happy. But in one split second, all that changes. A single remark by Ramon's older brother, Leon, turns Ramon's carefree sketches into joyless struggles. Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the world differently and she opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than getting things exactly right...
3. Sky Colour
The sky’s no limit as the author-illustrator of The Dot and Ish winds up his Creatrilogy with a whimsical tale about seeing the world a new way.
Marisol loves to paint. So when her teacher asks her to help make a mural for the school library, she can’t wait to begin! But how can Marisol make a sky without blue paint? After gazing out the bus window and watching from her porch as day turns into night, she closes her eyes and starts to dream. . . . From the award-winning Peter H. Reynolds comes a gentle, playful reminder that if we keep our hearts open and look beyond the expected, creative inspiration will come.
