From the creators of Not Little, the intrepid Dot is back with an endearing story about embracing the mistakes that let us build new skills.

Dot is good at a lot of things, but good isn’t perfect. Perfect is her sister’s blue-ribbon painting, or her brothers’ first-place tie in the spelling bee, or her mom’s black belt in tae kwon do. Dot tries and tries, but all she has to show for it is funny-looking cupcakes, off-key piano squeaks, and almost-goals in soccer. Nothing she does is perfect.

When Dot and her classmates get an assignment to make a poster about a person they admire, Dot has someone in mind right away: her best friend, Sam. But draft after draft comes out looking all wrong! How will she ever make the perfect poster for her perfect friend?

Fans of Dot and Sam and new readers alike will melt as Dot keeps on trying in this relatable companion to Not Little, featuring Maya Myers’s effortless narrative voice and Hyewon Yum’s irresistible illustrations.

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Maya Myers is the author of Not Little and Not Perfect, illustrated by Hyewon Yum (Neal Porter Books/Holiday House), the Rosie Woods series (Capstone, '24), and National Geographic's Little Kids First Big Book of Baby Animals, along with a number of leveled readers. When she's not writing, she edits all sorts of books for publishers and authors. Maya is a former kindergarten teacher, K-5 literacy teacher, and piccolo player. She loves cooking, gardening, and (surprise!) reading. Maya lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, author-illustrator Matt Myers, three kids, seven chickens, and a twenty-three-pound cat named Hoss.
