Follow Flora and her zany family as she takes us through her day with a series of vibrant and interactive maps.

In our current GPS-ruled world, map-reading is something of a dying art. But learning to read, understand, and draw maps is a fun and active way for children to develop spatial thinking skills— how we think about and understand the world around us and use concepts of space for problem solving. Early exposure to maps concepts can help foster this type of cognitive development in children and boost their math and science learning as they progress through school.

Each hand-drawn, kid-friendly map highlights key map concepts in the context of a story or puzzle. Figure out which route to school is the fastest, how to find Flora’s buried treasure, and even how to complete a dog agility course!

Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Professionals with more information about maps and spatial concepts, as well as questions, games, and activities designed to encourage children to map their own days!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A tool every educator of young children should have in their toolbox.” —Wrapped in Foil

“I loved Flora and her multi-cultural family and think this book is an excellent way to introduce kids to the dying art of map reading.”—Bermuda Onion

“This book is a great way to introduce your child to maps and to share all the different types of maps with them in a simple format.” —Sincerely Stacie

“This is a book that will be appreciated by teachers and readers alike!” —Unleashing Readers

“This book helps kids learn is by talking about something that kids use and love every day: maps! What kid doesn’t love drawing a treasure map like a pirate? Without even knowing it, kids will realize that they already know how to read and draw maps.” —Unconventional Librarian

“The playful cartoon artwork is simple enough to allow young readers to absorb the mindfulness and geographic reasoning lessons that are demonstrated on each page…. An excellent addition to geography collections.” —School Library Journal

"It’s a great invitation to start mapping out our world—something that may be seen by some as a dying art in this age of GPS, but is a critically important skill to have." —Mom Read It

“This book makes these things so much easier to learn by bringing these ideas to a level that kids can understand—their own lives…. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.” —Randomly Reading

"With simple text and cheerful pictures, plus all the activities, this book is all you need for a science activity, lesson, or program on mapping." —Jean Little Library

"Mapping My Day is an original and very highly recommended addition to family, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections.” —Midwest Book Review

"I would recommend Mapping My Day for grades 1–3." —The Late Bloomer's Book Blog

"The book is fun and interactive. It gets kids thinking and learning but it’s presented in a story that is fun for them to read. I like that it has a section for parents and caregivers in the back that offers helpful advice on teaching map skills to kids." —Where Imagination Grows

"The development of spatial skills and the ability to read and interpret maps are important concepts to teach, and a new picture book can help engage children in this vein while entertaining them with a story. Mapping My Day by Julie Dillemuth and illustrated by Laura Wood introduces a little girl who describes different aspects of her daily routine through the use of maps and explains the related symbols, terms, and ideas as she goes along." —Five Minutes for Mom

"This book is so informative and really helps young ones get more comfortable with maps from reading to drawing and more. I love it!!" —Crafty Moms Share

"We often underestimate the ability of young children to learn how to read and understand maps. That's why a resource like the new nonfiction picture book Mapping My Day by Julie Dillemuth and illustrated by Laura Wood is such an asset for educators." —Growing with Science

"I anticipate young readers will make lots of of connections to Flora in this story just as I did. But if not, I'm guessing they'll be captivated by her world and will get a little more curious about their own." —Teach Mentor Texts

Incorrectly bound

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

Great book. Borrowed from the library. Enjoyed the map terminology (legend, route, scale, landmark, cardinal directions). Good compliment to Me On the Map. One star because book ordered here arrived with pages incorrectly bound: upside down in reverse order. This makes the book unreadable. Hoping the replacement will be correctly bound.

Great intro to map skills for kids

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2017

My preschoolers and Kindergartner really enjoyed this book! The concepts are clear and easily understood by preschoolers to early elementary aged kids. The book focuses on locations kids are familiar with, like bedrooms, school, or playgrounds and gets them to look at these places in a new way.

My husband is a park ranger and really wanted our daughter (5) to start learning map reading skills so this book came at the perfect time for us! She started this book with a very minimal knowledge of how maps work. Now she understands the basics of how to read a map. She now knows to look for the map legend and how to use it to identify things within a map. She also understands how to use maps to make different routes to places we go and she’s paying more attention to the landmarks around our neighborhood, her school, and on our hikes. I’ve also found that she is noticing how changes in our route affect how long it takes us to get to school or home more than she did before reading this.

Overall I think it's a perfect book for introducing younger kids (I'd say 3rd grade and younger) to mapping skills! I'm very happy with the book and everything my daughter has learned. My daughter really likes the book too, there's some funny parts and she enjoys that it's interactive. It's a worthy purchase for classrooms, homeschooling, and general home libraries!

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own

Great for teaching and learning about maps.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 13, 2017

Flora loves to draw maps. It all started the day she buried her treasures in her yard to hide them from her little brother and had to draw a map to find them again. Flora introduces us to a day in her life. Each part of her day includes a map. There's a map of her house, her backyard, the way to school, the playground, and her aunt's dog obstacle course. It was fun to read about Flora's day and then see it diagrammed on the map. Each map also introduces one important aspect of maps such as a compass rose, a scale, and landmarks. At the end, the author has included suggestions for a bunch of activities that parents or teachers can do with children to help them learn about maps. This is a fun way to introduce children to the concepts related to spatial relationships as well as a great starting point for learning to use and create maps.

A book like no other....and memorable for kids!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2019

I am an educator of young children and I love this book. Great way for young learners to explore and understand Mapping skills, a skill not so easily accessible to them now (gone are maps replaced by Mapquest and all!).
The book is easy and clear with cheerful, colorful, positive illustrations. My grandkids 4 and 6 years just loved it! And 6 months later when I came to visit them, it was their idea to read the book again, hide a treasure, and make a map of it! I was so impressed and excited....

Lovely story about drawing maps.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2019

Lovely story about a girl who draws maps. Great for teaching kids a way to observe and interpret their surroundings. My kids love drawing treasure maps, so this story was right up their alley, and inspired them to include familiar places in their maps.

Really wonderful day-in-the-life story of a girl who draws multiple maps

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2017

Really wonderful day-in-the-life story of a girl who draws multiple maps. I like how the author brings in the direction of the sun and driving. My kids love the treasure map concept and have drawn some of their own. The illustrations are nice and I like the inclusion of a bi-racial family. This is a good one for teachers.

Wonderful Learning Tool

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2017

Such a fun, whimsical way to introduce so many aspects of mapping to a child. The text is clear and fun, and the illustrations add just the right amount of detail and silliness to engage the child. GREAT BOOK! And if you're an adult (or a super brainy little person), and don't have much knowledge of mapping, there are several pages at the back to help make you an expert.
