Maps of My Emotions

Follow along with a child and his companion as they embark on a mysterious journey. Almost a wordless book, the only words are those that describe the places on the maps of the journey. These fantastic and evocative places express all the shades of emotions from hope to fear, from wonder to sadness, to finally to love. An unprecedented and highly original itinerary with a story of friendship and great adventure plays out in graphic-novel form that unfolds on the pages between the maps. Highly visual illustrations provide an incentive for children to explore their emotions and create their own new maps for emotional discovery.
