Niko Draws a Feeling
Bob Raczka
Niko makes abstract drawings based on what he notices in the world around him. Rather than depicting an ice-cream truck or a bird’s nest directly, his pictures express sounds, effort, action, and feeling. His family and friends do not understand the work, and Niko worries that no one ever will. When Iris, a new neighbor, looks carefully at the pictures, she recognizes a feeling of sadness after moving and becomes a friend who understands him.
