This enchanting picture book about a map-making boy who is stumped when a girl asks him for a map of the “perfect place” helps readers appreciate the charms of their own neighborhood–and even shows them how to make a map of it!

The Mapmaker loves maps. He loves to collect them, to study them, and most of all, he loves to make them. But when a girl asks for a map of a perfect place, the Mapmaker is perplexed. She wants a map to a toes-in-the-sand-warm, X-marks-the-spot-place filled with treasures, where it smells like her birthday and she can zip around like a dragonfly. Surely, a place that is all of these things can’t exist…can it? Well, after a fun-filled day of exploring the neighborhood, the Mapmaker will discover that the perfect place–home–has been right in front of him all along.

Here is a picture book, as creative as it is charming, that celebrates home, and is a gentle reminder to look around and appreciate what surrounds you.
