About the Book

Niko loves to draw his feelings. When he sees something, he tries to capture the way it makes him feel with splashes of color on the paper. His family and friends don’t understand. They keep trying to figure out what the object is that he’s drawn. This makes Niko sad, and he draws that sadness. Then one day, he meets Iris. Join us talking about, and celebrating, the universal desire to feel understood.
