One day, Anna’s friend Zane sends her an invitation to come over to play, and inside the envelope is a map.

With an inviting narrative, child-friendly illustrations, and running commentary about various aspects of maps, aspiring cartographers are introduced to everything from symbols to point of view, road maps to family trees—and even a special “cat map” of Anna’s pet’s favorite spots.
