In this enchanting picture book, two children set out on separate adventures to blaze their very own trail, mapping it as they go.
Set out, pen in hand. Yours are the first footsteps on the map! You never know where the path to adventure might lead! This imaginative picture book combines brief, lyrical text with a stunning combination of photographs and artist's illustrations as it spins a charming story that introduces the art of mapmaking from a child's perspective. Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary kids just learning about maps, the book also includes basic information needed to read maps, such as symbols and a map key. Filled with beautifully illustrated, child-centered maps, Footsteps on the Map will inspire budding cartographers to map their own world and tell their own stories.Author Biography
