This amazing and irresistable book shows that maps are conceptual and visual organizers--and that they enable us to organize so much more than geographic space. Through the imagination of this remarkable young writer, we see how mapping can be used to teach young reader/writers the very concept of mapping--or of organizing ideas. Sara maps her favorite and dearest people and treasures--in the map of her heart. She maps her day, in thinking how we spend our time. She maps her stomach--what she loves to eat, and what's in there to please mom. These and other maps in the collection provide a wonderfully creative leaping off point for writing activities that involve mapping--activities even the youngest writers can handle. Everyone can map his/her face, desk, room, or day. Labels and written text can be used to enrich the writing, but they're not essential. It's easy to use and it's stimulating, too. This book should be in the classroom of every teacher K-5. Students LOVE it (so do adults), and the wealth of engaging writing activities it suggests makes it an excellent investment. How often do children get to see books written by other children? We can only hope Sara will write more! I recommend this book to every teacher and parent I talk or work with.Vicki Spandel Director, Write Traits Portland, Oregon
This book starts with children's experiences with the world and uses these experiences to create maps. Most every child can create a map of her heart. From there it is only a hop, skip and a jump to maps of the world outside our hearts.
This is a marvelous book that inspires creative map makers in the classroom. Students love to share what their hearts would hold in them if they were drawn out as a map. Sarah's map of her dog is so fun!
Really cool tool in teaching children an introduction of maps. Done in kids type artistry and handwriting which made it fun for our son to read over and look at. This author shows maps of everything - kids can relate to - not just the town, etc.. but their home, bedroom body, and my personal fav - the girls heart. It was so adorable - her parents, special memories are mapped in her heart map. This right here is a great idea for a map of the heart as a valentine activity, and more off the pages can lead to lots of great mapping with your child at home - so many activities you can create with your child.
Spending time with kids who are learning to journal or keep writing notebooks - this story helps kids grasp the idea of "my life map stories"! A little "busy" on all pages, but gives a lot to talk about and creates good discussions on each of our own life's maps and stories, allowing for retelling in a journal or notebook!
This is a great intergenerational group book for grandparents and child. It could easily be adapted for a family night or a series of family functions. Teachers should have this book on their desk and use it for reference of things they do in school so that the children could weigh in on it in a concrete way. This is the best book ever!
I'm a third grade teacher and I used this book in my mapping unit. It shows children that there are different kinds of maps (besides the usual kinds). The book includes maps of: the heart, a child's bedroom, the dog, and other items you would not have imagined!
This book is fabulous! I am a kindergarten teacher and I went to a conference where the instructor mentioned this book and an activity that went along with it. My K-5 kids enjoyed the book (especially Boo-Boo) a great deal and produced wonderful maps of their hearts! It was a really special way to see what was in each of their hearts and what they found important.
