This was a sweet story about a boy named Indigo who is left by his mother and raised on the streets by an older girl, Jade. She ensures he has food, shelter, and companionship, as well as encourages his love of art and drawing. When she is separated from Indigo, he leaves the area they had been relying on and makes his way through the world on his own, ultimately finding a family and community that adores him, pulled together by his artwork.
