Camilla, Cartographer

Wild boar Camilla is fascinated by maps of all kinds. She's under the false impression that everything has already been explored and mapped, but when an epic snowfall transforms the landscape, she realizes that she can still make new discoveries, forge her own paths, and document her activities in maps.

Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with spatial thinking info and activities that celebrate discovery, adventurous problem-solving, and making maps. Ask for it at your local bookstore, request it at your public library, or buy it using the buttons below.
