Produktinformationen zu „I am a Dot (PDF)“
At some point in our lives we consider what we want to be when we grow up. We may hear it as children playing with doctors’ kits or it may echo in our minds along with congratulations at graduation. The answers, however, can only be revealed when we are ready and willing to explore our possibilities.
Imagine a dot so bored with its existence that it decides to take a journey. In “I am a Dot: A Tale about Punctuation and Purpose”, Dot encounters many characters along the way: a line, a hook, a semi-circular line and other dots. With each new relationship, Dot learns more about how it feels and what it wants through a selective process which leads to self-discovery. In the end, Dot develops a new understanding of its function and what it wants to truly be.
As the story unfolds we are reminded that we have many choices about how we wish to function in our lives. The simple format of the story and charming illustrations support the underlying message about self-discovery while teaching an educational lesson about punctuation.
The authors remind us that life can take many turns; that what feels right today, may not continue to feel like our true path. These transitions may happen at any time in our lives. This unique and exciting tale will provide support to those seeking to make a change in their lives or help others overcome unexpected, situational changes. It is a fun way for teachers and parents to help children learn the difference between a semi-colon and a colon, and about the many functions of a dot. Most importantly, it reminds us all to pay attention to our feelings. They are our internal road map and can show us the way to our hearts’ longing.
“I am a Dot: A Tale about Punctuation and Purpose” by Jeanne Glassman Clair and Nancy S. Mure is a story that will delight, entertain and inspire children young and old to discover their own true purpose.

Autoren-Porträt von Nancy S. Mure, Jeanne Glassman Claire
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Nancy grew up one of three children. She is also an identical twin. Raised Italian-American, Nancy has a strong sense of family, an affinity for its customs and a love for pizza and a good bagel. Brooklyn is the basis for her inspiration and where she still calls home. Before writing memorable stories for children, Nancy earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Hunter College in NYC. She was employed at Citicorp, from 1984–98 in various Human Resources Functions. After exploring a career in the corporate sector, residing in NYC, traveling and sometimes skiing through Europe and out West, Nancy returned to Brooklyn and started a family.
Nancy has authored seven stories to date. “The Caterpillar that Wouldn’t Change” is her first published story. Nancy didn’t grow up longing to be a writer. In fact the urge, as strong as it is, is relatively recent. After her father’s passing, it was the birth of her daughter that compelled Nancy to write her first story “Papa in the Sky” a story about a young girl wanting to know more about her late grandfather.
Nancy channels her motivational messages through her writing to help children as well as some adults address common issues. Some of these issues include questions about death/heaven, dealing with change, accepting differences in others, feeling similar, stealing, appreciating your twin, and making meatballs! Nancy is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).
When she isn’t writing, Nancy enjoys music, reading biographies, recreational running, skiing, weight training, classic art, and time with her children. An avid cook and cooking student, Nancy has also been featured on the Food Network.
Ms. Mure´ remains a permanent fixture in Brooklyn with her two children and her faithful dog, Fred.
Born and raised in New York, Jeanne considers herself a citizen of the world. Her career path in business was unexpectedly interrupted when,

at the age of 35, she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. After a life-saving bone marrow transplant, Jeanne left the business world to become a social worker. Upon receiving her Master’s Degree from Columbia University, Jeanne went to work with children in the public school system. Currently a Program Director of Counseling In Schools, Inc., a non-profit community based organization, Jeanne supervises counseling programs throughout New York City.
Jeanne’s creativity has taken many forms including visual art, jewelry design, chocolate lollipop centerpieces and writing. She believes the creative process is an expression of one’s deepest self and is happy when her work finds a more public voice, touching others’ lives as it has hers. Her recent story about a dot’s search for true meaning in its life was inspired by a friend who had shared a one sentence revelation after a session with a therapist. The story wrote itself and lived in Jeanne’s computer for 5 years before it was brought to life by co-author Nancy S. Mure and illustrator, Alexander T. Lee. It is a story that, in some ways, mirrors Jeanne’s own journey and reminds us that life is full of changes and endless possibilities… or not.
The choice is ours.
Alexander T. Lee was born in Philadelphia and currently resides in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, with his wife and son. He graduated from the University of Arts in 2002 with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Illustration. After graduation, he enlisted in the US Navy and served four years on the submarine, USS Jacksonville, as a computer technician. As he has been honorably discharged from the US Navy, he began to pursue his lifelong dream of illustrating children’s books. He works as a freelance illustrator.
