Poppy once painted a sunset using coffee grounds, a worn-out toothbrush, and the back of a cereal box. Growing up in foster care, where moving meant carrying everything she owned in a trash bag, taught her to make art out of whatever she could find. Poppy is a quiet, imaginative girl who notices colors other people walk right past, like the exact pink of an evening sky or the deep blue of a rainy sidewalk. She lives in a foster home, learning to trust that she can unpack and stay, and her caregivers have noticed that she lights up whenever a pencil is in her hand. Poppy dreams of becoming a muralist who paints bright, hopeful scenes on her community's walls so no kid ever has to walk past a blank, gray wall. She has spent her life making beauty out of almost nothing, and she is ready to see what she can do with something.
