The Boy Who Painted the World
Indigo is a boy with a dream. He wants to be a famous artist when he grows up, but he’s never had a real family or a home. He spends his nights in a shelter and his days working odd jobs to buy new art supplies.
Jade is his best friend who has helped feed him and keep him safe. When she is arrested for shoplifting, Indigo sets off on a journey where he finds new people, and the courage to pursue his dreams.
Follow Indigo on a journey that teaches him the meaning of friendship, family… and shows him that dreams really do come true.
For fans of The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate and One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt.
