Map

Hi there. Can you hold a whole forest in your hands? Or a big, splashy ocean? With me, you can. I am a picture, but a very special one. I have wiggly lines for roads, blue patches for water, and green spots for parks. I can show you the secret path to a playground treasure or the way to your best friend's house for a playdate. I show you where to go and how to get there. It's like a fun game.

That’s right, I’m a Map. It’s so nice to meet you. I’ve been around for a super, super long time. Before there was paper, people drew me on big cave walls and soft clay tablets to remember where they found yummy berries or a cozy place to sleep. They would scratch little lines and shapes to show their friends the way. It was like drawing a secret code to help everyone find their way home safely. I helped them remember all the important places in their big, wide world so they would never be lost.

Today, I’m everywhere. I live inside your family’s phone and in the car, helping you go on amazing trips. I can show you the way to the zoo to see the lions, the beach to build sandcastles, or even a country far, far away. I make sure you never get lost. So next time you go on an adventure, big or small, look for me. I’ll be there to guide your way and help you explore our wonderful world.
