"The Carpet Boy's Gift" by Leane Morin follows the journey of a young boy named Kanishka, who lives in a small village in Afghanistan. The story illuminates Kanishka's life as he learns the art of carpet weaving, a skill passed down through generations. Despite the poverty surrounding him, Kanishka finds joy and hope in his craft and dreams of creating a masterpiece. As he navigates challenges, including the impact of war and the struggles of his community, Kanishka discovers the power of art, resilience, and the importance of giving back, ultimately learning that true wealth lies in kindness and generosity.
