What is The Boy Who Painted The World about?
A boy discovers a blank book and a paintbrush that encourages him to fill its pages. At first, he is sure he cannot draw, but soon simple shapes become dumper trucks, colourful blobs turn into Messy-sauruses and imagination brings whole scenes to life. As his confidence grows, he learns that mistakes can become wonderful ideas and that there is no single right way to make art. This playful picture book celebrates creativity, courage and the magic of seeing possibilities everywhere.
