The Boy Who Painted The World

Tom McLaughlin

When a boy stumbles into a blank book, he thinks it looks very empty . . . until he meets a determined paintbrush.

Although the boy is certain that he can’t draw or paint, he’s encouraged to try-and the results are surprising. An ordinary square can become a dumper truck, and a messy blob of paint can become a Messy-saurus (that’s a scribbly sort of dinosaur). In fact, it soon becomes clear that anything can be turned into something. With a bit of imagination, the possibilities are endless!

Written and illustrated by bestselling author Tom McLaughlin, The Boy Who Painted The World is a celebration of creativity and turning mistakes into magic.
