Synopsis

Idris likes knowing which way is north. Maps make the world feel readable—until he unfolds an old map from his grandfather and finds a blank place at its edge.

With Rafiki nearby, Idris considers the difference between recording places people have seen and imagining places of his own. A magical journey carries his attention beyond the map’s lines, through stars and unfamiliar possibilities. When he wants to draw an invented landscape, there is fresh paper for that adventure.

Rafiki and the Mapmaker is an illustrated story about curiosity, imagination, and the edges of what we know. The accompanying adult note encourages readers to distinguish imagined worlds from real maps, check what they learn, and explore with trusted people.
