A mission for the next generation of kids.

It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Kiersten, also known as my alter ego, Ms. Dotttie. Ms. Dottie is a frog-overall wearing, mushroom-hat donning singer who began performing at Peter H. Reynold’s Blue Bunny Bookstore in Dedham, MA.

On the spectrum herself, Ms. Dottie wanted to create a show that helps young children make the transition from preschool to Kindergarten, particularly from an inclusive lens, telling the stories of both disabled and abled children. She originally had a partner, Ms. Lottie, who eventually became Lotsa.

Dots was then created as a counterpart and companion to the energetic Lotsa. Ms. Dottie often expresses that both she and Lilypad Library are not perfect, but that they are always trying to learn, grow, and be their best selves. Although a form of Ms. Dottie did not exist for young Kiersten, she is now there for the next generations of kids of all abilities - not just the ones currently showcased in childrens media.
