A BOOK OF MAPS FOR YOU by Lourdes Heuer. Illustrated by Maxwell Eaton III
How about a picture book recommendation that will make you gasp at the end with emotion? Then check out A Book of Maps For You.
We all know how much kids like maps. Handmade ones can hold a bit of mystery, discovery, treasure, and favorite spots. It's no different for the child that is creating all of the maps in this book. Favorite spots in town, the library, and in their house are part of the collection. The question is why are all of these maps being created? You'll have to read the story to find out, but it's absolutely beautiful! Highly Recommend!
ALONGSIDE ACTIVITIES - Take some time to examine different types of maps. How about one for the country you live in, the state, the county? Then gather some fantasy maps. Consider looking at some of Tolkien's from Lord of the Rings. Finish out by supplying your child with a large piece of drawing paper, pencils, eraser, colored pencils, ruler, and possibly the set of rubber stamps from Lord of Maps. I'll include the link! Allow them to create a map either of a place they are familiar with or one from their imagination!
