The Dot Debuts in a New Deluxe Edition
Special collector’s edition of THE DOT by Best-Selling Author/Illustrator Peter H. Reynolds arrives September 1, just in time for International Dot Day celebrations around the world
Just in time for this year’s International Dot Day, The Dot Deluxe Gift Edition is set to release on September 1, 2026. The dot-shaped collector’s edition presents Peter H. Reynold’s inspiring story in a slipcase with a die-cut opening to reveal the book’s iconic orange dot.
The Dot Deluxe Gift Edition is written and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds and published by Candlewick Press. The 32-page hardcover edition is recommended for ages 5-9 and has a suggested retail price of $21.99. It is available for preorder now wherever books are sold.
Peter notes, “My hope is that this new edition will make the perfect gift to thank and recognize someone in your life that helped you make your mark - or made their mark in the world and helped make it a better place.”
“The Dot reminds us that creativity does not begin with perfection—it begins with permission,” said Paul Reynolds, Peter’s twin brother and executive director of the non-profit Reynolds Center for Teaching, Learning & Creativity, which stewards International Dot Day. “Sometimes all it takes is one caring adult who sees a spark in a young person and encourages them to begin.”
The deluxe edition is available for preorder at your favorite bookstore or online retailer. You can receive a signed, personalized copy by Peter H. Reynolds by preordering on his website.
