The Little Mapmaker
An Enchanting Illustrated Storybook About Imagination, Creativity, and Maps – A Magical Drawing Adventure for Curious Kids Ages 4–8

Then one day Maya draws a castle deep in the tall grass, and when she walks out to find it, it is exactly where she put it. Soon a river runs through a crack in the sidewalk because she sketched fish in it. A picture book about how imagination, attention, and a pencil are enough to make a world.
