I is for Islands in Kid Lit Maps

Books that involve runaways and dangerous settings are magnets for young readers. Add a map and danger and you have a book that will intrigue and delight children which is why My Father’s Dragon has been in print since 1948.     My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett (author) and Ruth Chrisman Gannett (illustrator) […]

G is for Geography in the A to Z of Literary Maps

One of the most dramatic areas of geographic study is that of the movement of people escaping war, drought, and terrorism. This is not a new phenomena but goes back to the dawn of history. There so many gripping stories of refugees and today I’d like to share of of the most beautiful and emotionally […]

E is for Endpapers – Literary maps from A to Z

It is said that you can’t always tell a book by its cover but I think you can tell a lot about a book by its Endpapers. Endpapers are the first peek a reader gets when opening a book. These two pages at the front and back are an opportunity for the illustrator to creatively […]

D is for Dinosaur on a literary mapping journey

Welcome to Day Four of the A to Z April Blog Challenge. This year I’m wandering through children’s books with maps. Who doesn’t like dinosaurs and love to learn where they once roamed the earth?

B is for Biography – mapping a trip around the world

Welcome to Day 2 of Blogging A to Z where I’m blogging this year about maps found in children’s books.  I love to find a biography that includes maps of where the subject lived and traveled. I am fascinated by Nelly Bly and all that she accomplished. She was the ultimate traveler! The Daring Nellie […]

A is for Atlas, Adventure, and Australia

A is for April which means that the 2018 A to Z Blog challenge has officially begun. This year I am on the lookout for Literary Maps. I am defining literary quite loosely as I am focusing on maps in children’s books.  Unfortunately, people don’t seem to be that interested in maps these days. I […]
