Izaghi and the Strings of the...

Wesley Nascimento

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Back Cover Blurb 
Izaghi was born with a dream in his heart and a string on his chest—an invisible thread that tied him to a home he longed to leave, but could never forget. 
Armed with a homemade device of foam claps, strings, and a small engine, seven-year-old Izaghi floats beyond the edges of his world. He visits villages where music shapes the rain, deserts where echoes carry truths from the past, and markets where stars are traded for stories. Each place holds a piece of his heart—each goodbye leaves a quiet ache. 
As the wind carries him from adventure to adventure, Izaghi learns that not every dream is meant to be kept, and not every wish leads where you expect. But some lessons wait in the quiet places: 
In the voice of a mother long gone. 
In the forgiveness of a friend he thought he’d left behind. 
In the gardens that bloom from kindness alone. 
This is the story of a boy who learns that becoming yourself means remembering all the names you’ve ever been called—son, friend, dreamer, wanderer—and knowing when to let go. 
For readers who believe in hope, in wonder, and in the quiet strings that pull us home.
