About this listen

Deka lives in a small shack with his family, where toys are scarce, but his imagination knows no bounds. With only a few colored pencils and scraps of paper, he brings his dreams to life through art. One day, a traveling teacher discovers Deka’s drawings and recognizes his extraordinary talent. With encouragement and guidance, Deka’s artwork reaches beyond his small home, unlocking new opportunities he never thought possible. The Boy with the Painted Dreams is a touching children’s story about creativity, perseverance, and the power of believing in one’s dreams.
