In @peterhreynolds' The Dot, Vashti’s teacher tells her to “make a mark and see where it takes you.” This invitation inspires Vashti, and The Dot inspires people all over the world on or around September 15th to collaborate, create, and connect! https://t.co/7JpkwajCSU

I agree with @Dreamworks! You should read my book THE WILD ROBOT and then go watch THE WILD ROBOT movie! #thewildrobot #thewildrobotmovie
