Description Share Post The Map of Me Nicola Davies, with Olga Shtonda (Templar) What might our maps of the future look like? When you’re familiar with your world, it can be scary to make a change. After all, the people and the places in your new world are not the same. There’s no Granny or Joe-Dog, no traffic lights beneath the tree, where you cross for school. Then again, what if you begin your new map? Could it be that your world seems to have shrunken? That in your move so many things are lost? Or might it be that with others, who are like you, you can extend your world to include those old places? Then again, what if bad things happen? Will your world survive, or might it all shut down? Or could it be, as Dad shows through his mapping, that there are always changing, including in the past of his life? The Map of Me is an inspired book that considers ourselves alongside the worlds we inhabit and those we move through. Nicola Davies demonstrates positivism alongside a global view of life and our environment with this wonderful picture book. Like Martha Maps It Out, The Map of Me is an assured and beautifully composed picture book. What’s more, illustrator Olga Shtonda’s use of line and colour is sympathetic and inspired.
