Kidlit Love: Conversations with Picture Book & Middle Grade Authors

E168: Celebrating International Dot Day with Peter H. Reynolds


Listen Later

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Peter Reynolds to celebrate International Dot Day!

If you are listening on the day this episode is released, then you're listening on International Dot Day inspired by the book titled The Dot by Peter Reynolds. What began with one teacher in Iowa sharing the book with his class has grown into a worldwide movement inspiring over 29 million educators and students to make their mark in over 200 countries. 

Come listen as we talk about the book that started it all, the themes that are woven into the pages of Peter’s books, the gift that picture books offer to adults and the heartfelt invitation to create and share those creations with others to make the world a better, kinder place to be.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/09/15/celebrating-international-dot-day-with-peter-h-reynolds/
