A boy in Jordan dreams of becoming an artist. He has special brushes and paints that he treasures. But when conflict strikes, his family must flee their home, leaving everything behind. As they move through forests, beaches, and cities, he begins to use nature and surroundings as his canvas—collaging with petals and leaves, drawing with sticks in sand, and tracing shapes on windowpanes. At an art exhibition, he discovers multimedia artwork and realizes: anything can become art. This touching tale captures the resilience of children, the trauma of displacement, and the healing power of creativity.
