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

The first in the More Than Art Series (picture books with an art twist) for kids ages 4 - 8, author Susan Burnash and illustrator Stephen Stone take young readers on a lyrical journey that teaches us to look beyond names and expectations to find our identity and purpose. Spot or Not? marries themes of self-discovery, belonging, and creative collaboration, with the history of Pointillism art. The book includes information about Pointillism art, artists, and paintings, and a hands-on Pointillism activity that can be used in STEAM curricula, the classroom, or at home.

Perfect for teachers, librarians, homeschoolers, STEAM curricula, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and International Dot Day activities, Spot or Not? provides an opportunity to open a child's door to imagination, self-expression, and the significance of Pointillism art-one dot at a time.
