Maya is five, and she draws maps. Maps of her bedroom. Maps of the kitchen. Maps of the backyard with the tire swing. Her dog Pepper sits beside her with a red bandana while she works. Then one day Maya draws a castle deep in the tall grass - and when she walks out to find it, it is exactly where she put it.
Soon a river runs through a crack in the sidewalk because she sketched fish in it. A treehouse village appears in Mr. Chen's willow tree because she added one with a green crayon. Maya is not just making maps anymore. She is making places people can go.
A picture book for the child who draws everything, for the parent who watches a small imagination get bigger, and for anyone who has ever wondered if a crayon could really be that powerful.
Perfect for: creative children, art lovers, bedtime, conversations about imagination and possibility, ages 3 to 6.
