The Sign Painter by Allen Say

The Sign Painter by Allen Say is a beautifully illustrated and poignant story about dreams, choices, and the pursuit of purpose. The story follows a young man who takes a job painting billboards with a mysterious and silent sign painter. Together, they travel across the desert, painting giant advertisements for a woman in a swimsuit—a figure that seems to have little connection to the boy's dreams of becoming an artist. As they work in isolation, the boy contemplates the meaning of his work and the direction of his life, wondering if he’s on the right path or simply following a dream that may never come true.
