Spot or Not?

Discover identity and purpose through art!

A blue spot is having an identity crisis. He doesn't know his purpose or where he belongs. When he looks at the usual places where spots are found...they don't feel right. When he explores other identities...he can't relate. Could Spot be too close to see the big picture? Should he step back for a new point of view? Find out what happens when Spot changes his perspective to discover if he is a Spot or Not?


Experience a lyrical journey that teaches us to look beyond names and expectations to find our identity and purpose. With a nod to the big picture concept of Pointillism Art, Spot or Not? connects the beauty of self-discovery to the uniqueness of art. The book includes information about Pointillism art, artists, and history. It also includes a hands-on Pointillism activity that can be used in the classroom or at home. The first in a series of picture books with an art-focused twist for kids ages 4 - 8.


Perfect for teachers, homeschoolers, STEAM curricula and International Dot Day in September. 


Could a spot be more than his name suggests?

“Spot or Not? is an absolute gem for our homeschool library! I love how this book combines a heartwarming story of self-discovery with a lesson about art. The rhyming is so much fun! It gets stuck in your head.


— Stacy Jenkins, Homeschool Mom
