With a little encouragement from his sister, Ramon discovers that creativity is about a lot more than getting things just "right." Combining the spareness of fable with the potency of parable, the creator of The Dot shines a bright beam of light on the need to kindle and tend our creative flames with care. Co-produced by FableVision, Inc. and Weston Woods. Narrated by Chester Gregory with music by Joel Goodman.
Reviews:
School Library Journal: “…sure to inspire and empower young artists of all abilities to make their own -ish- drawings and poems…. Bursts of color and light and cool jazz music reflect Ramon’s mood throughout the story…. Libraries will want to purchase this delightful offering to support the art curriculum. Video of the Week."
Video Librarian: “…this animated ode to artistic expression is recommended. Three Stars"
2006 ALA Notable Recordings Committee: “…expertly narrated…”
