Waving "hi"! This is so fun for me to see! 🔵🔵 A first-grade class in Oakland read DOT, DOT, POLKA DOT. Here's a student's artwork inspired by the story as they thought about patterns. @POWkidsbooks #kidlit #childrensbooks #picturebooks

I recently got a chance to catch up with author-illustrator @MorissaRubin about Dot, Dot, Polka Dot, a board book that takes a unique approach to exploring fabric patterns in child's quilt. Enjoy a peek at how this book got made!
