The Spots and the Dots
by Helen Baugh (Author) and Marion Deuchars (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: The Spots live on one side of the hill. The Dots live on the other. Both are fearful and suspicious of the other, but are they really all that different? When a young Spot and a young Dot meet at the top of the hill, they are about to find out.

Flip the book upside down and choose whether to read from the perspective of the Spots or the Dots, right up until the middle, where the two communities collide. Find the similarities in others, discover that fear is often based on ignorance, and celebrate difference in this social-emotional learning picture book for children and adults.
