Our Children’s Book of the Month for June 2022 is Martha Maps It Out by Leigh Hodgkinson.
Martha LOVES drawing maps. She creates maps of everything-even her thoughts and dreams! Let Martha be your guide as she welcomes you to her world. Starting in outer space, we zoom in page by page, to our planet, Martha’s community, and beyond to her dreams of a future where ANYTHING is possible. Full of quirky details and fun non-fiction labels that children will love poring over-they will discover cool new facts with every reading. Each map is imbued with an irresistible sense of excitement about the world and optimism for the future.
Martha Maps It Out is a great way to introduce children to the fascinating world of maps, and themes of community, sustainability and dreaming big. It explores the many ways we’re connected to our community and how we use maps and scale to make sense of our world.
For ages 2+
Martha Maps It Out is available now for £6.99
