International Dot Day is celebrated on September 15th to recognize creativity, courage, and confidence inspired by the children's book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. The day encourages discussion about overcoming fears and doubts to try new things, as depicted in the story of a young girl who hesitantly makes her first dot drawing. Activities for the celebration include using task cards to discuss themes from the book in small groups and creating an original dot drawing.
