Popular picture book character Martha maps out her own family tree and explores all the different ways we’re connected in this latest adventure, Leigh Hodginkson’s bright, textured illustrations inviting readers to pore over each page. The imminent arrival of a new baby sibling prompts Martha’s focus on her family, and her first carefully labelled map is of her mummy, resting on the sofa with baby in her tummy.
A beautifully drawn family tree a couple of pages on – in the form of a real tree (upside down) – shows the baby all the members of their family, but Martha goes on to map out their community families too, by neighbourhood and interest; then she looks wider, to all the different families humans belong to, concluding that we have always been connected even to the planets and galaxy. Martha’s positivity and creativity come across in every spread and like the first two in the series, Martha Maps it Out and Martha Maps it Out in Time , this is thoroughly rewarding and inspiring, deserving of a place on shelves at home and at school. Everyone will be itching to drawing maps and family trees after they’ve read this!
Meet Martha's new sibling and discover families great and small through Martha's maps, bursting with details and facts.
