About the Work
Searching, Playing, and a little Learning. -This is a map picture book. Recently, due to the spread of the Internet, opportunities to read and understand maps are getting less for both children and adults. In such times, we received a request from a map company to make a book which would allow children to expand their imagination and initiate excitement through looking at maps. In order to make the book appealing and fun for children we created aliens as ‘guide characters.’ The main character is also a reader. Using the ‘navigating alien,’ Tabby, children can explore the city of illustrations all the while searching for suggested items, making their own discoveries, learning a little and hopefully feeling like they would actually like to take a trip somewhere themselves.
