History of the holiday
Dot Day was founded in 2009 by Peter H. Reynolds, the author of "The Dot," which tells the story of a girl named Vashti who learns to overcome doubts and reveal her creative abilities with the help of a simple dot on a sheet of paper. The holiday was created to inspire people to express themselves and develop creative skills.
