Bookroo's summary

Niko captures the world through his drawings, from the ice cream truck's jingle to the sun's warmth. Yet, his art remains unappreciated. Everything changes when he meets Iris, who sees beyond the lines and colors. This touching tale delves into creativity, abstract art, and the longing for understanding. Will Niko finally find someone who truly sees his world?

From the publisher

Niko loves to draw his world: the ring-a-ling of the ice cream truck, the warmth of sun on his face. But no one appreciates his art. Until one day, Niko meets Iris . . . This imaginative and tender story explores the creative process, abstract art, friendship, and the universal desire to feel understood.– “Website”
