Mounir was a little boy with a big love for drawing. He drew on everything—papers, notebooks, chairs… even the walls of his bedroom!
His mom would often sigh and say, “Mounir, walls are not coloring books!” But he couldn’t help it—his imagination was just too big.
He had a special sketchbook he called The Wonder Book. It was his favorite thing in the world. Inside were dragons with bow ties, cupcakes that danced, and even a banana that played the trumpet.
One rainy afternoon, Mounir felt a bit sad. Nobody wanted to play, and his brain was completely out of ideas. So he opened The Wonder Book and drew something gloomy—a huge black cloud with angry eyes, zapping the earth with lightning.

When his mom saw the picture later, her eyebrows lifted. “Oh dear… that looks dark,” she said softly. “Would you like to paint something big and bright instead? On your wall! I’ll even get you the paints.”
Mounir gasped. “Wait… You want me to paint on the wall?”
Mom nodded. “Only this once.”
That night, Mounir stood in front of his white bedroom wall, holding his favorite purple marker. “Hmm… What if I draw a door?” he whispered. “A big door to another world!”
He began to draw: a tall rectangle, two side lines, a circle for a handle. Suddenly, the door shimmered… and creaked open.

Light spilled into the room. “Woah!” Mounir stepped through. On the other side, everything was… drawn. The grass was made of green scribbles. The sky was crayon-blue. Trees had faces and were laughing!
“HELLOOOOO!” shouted a big leafy tree. “Welcome, Mounir!”
Mounir blinked. “How do you know my name?”
A bluebird zipped by and giggled. “Because you drew us, silly!”
Mounir laughed. “This is awesome!”
He saw a flying cat with butterfly wings doing loop-de-loops in the air. “I can fly and purr at the same time!” she meowed proudly.
And a hotdog cart strolled by—on chicken legs!
“I sell dancing hotdogs!” said the cart in a squeaky voice. “Want one?”
But just as Mounir was about to try a tangoing sausage, the sky rumbled.

A familiar, grumpy black cloud rolled in. Thunder cracked. From the shadows, a dark monster formed—big, scary, and made of stormy scribbles.
The tree shouted, “Mounir! That’s the sad cloud you drew earlier! It turned into a gloom-monster!”
The cloud monster roared and zapped the ground with angry lightning. “I will erase everything!” it growled.
Mounir stepped back. “Oh no… this is my fault!”
The flying cat hovered near. “You can fix it, Mounir. Draw something stronger—draw from your heart!”
“But what should I draw?” Mounir asked.
The bird chirped, “Draw what makes you happy!”
So Mounir sat on a rock, took out a giant pencil from his pocket (because of course giant pencils live in his magic world), and drew the biggest heart ever. Inside it, he added his family, his favorite book, a paintbrush, and a smiling sun. Then he drew a glowing figure shaped like his mom. She floated out of the heart and faced the monster.
“Shoo!” she said gently, shining brighter and brighter.

The monster hissed and covered its eyes. “Too much kindness! It buuuuuurns!”
Tired and dizzy, the monster collapsed into a puddle of gray goo. The bird flew down, scooped it up, and popped it gently into the heart, like a cozy nap.
The heart floated into the sky and became a glowing sun. All the drawings clapped and cheered.
“Mounir! You saved us!” said the tree.
“You’re a drawing hero!” added the hotdog cart, who started moonwalking.
Mounir smiled. “Thank you, everyone. But… how do I get home?”
The flying cat pointed. “Where’s the door you came from?”
They looked around. The door was gone!
The tree laughed. “Easy! Just draw a key. This is your world.”
Mounir quickly drew a curly key with stars on it. A door popped open.
As he stepped through, everyone waved and called, “Visit again! Don’t forget to draw us fun stuff!”
Mounir woke up on his bedroom floor. “Was it all a dream?”
He ran to his Wonder Book—and gasped. The scary cloud was gone. In its place was the glowing heart, shining like sunshine.
His mom peeked in. “Time for breakfast! Did you sleep well?”
Mounir grinned. “I had the most amazing dream. Or… maybe it wasn’t a dream at all!”
