A
Bologna Ragazzi Award Special Mention!

An
adventurous cat named Sam explores her neighborhood at night in this gorgeously
illustrated book. Informational, beautiful, and deeply moving, Mapping Sam
is both a book about how maps work and an engaging, character-driven story. In
a starred review, Kirkus Reviews says that Mapping Sam is "a
winning choice." An ideal read-aloud for classrooms and homeschooling, the book
features a page of background information as well as various maps and map terms
throughout.

For fans of Brandon
Wenzel's They All Saw a Cat and Sara Fanelli's My
Map Book
, and for anyone who wants to know what is where and how to get
from here to there!

Maps can show us streets
and subways and cities and countries. But they can also show us what we can't
see, what we can only imagine, or how to build something. In Joyce
Hesselberth's Mapping Sam, Sam the cat puts her family to bed,
and then--when all is quiet--heads out to explore her neighborhood.

As Sam follows her
customary path, wandering farther and farther away from home, readers encounter
different kinds of maps illuminating different points of view and the various
spots Sam visits. Finally, when Sam reaches her favorite place and confirms
that all is well, she heads back home, climbs onto a cozy bed, and falls
asleep.

An
ideal read-aloud for classrooms and libraries, Mapping Sam features
a page of background information, as well as various maps and map terms
throughout. Perfect for fans of Lynne Rae Perkins's Frank and Lucky
Get Schooled
and Peter H. Reynolds's The Dot.
