Our Big Map of Meaningful Things

“Our Big Map of Meaningful Things” is a heartwarming journey that shows children how the objects they hold dear are more than just items—they represent stories, traditions, and the connections that define who they are. In this beautifully illustrated adventure, a group of children creates a special map made not of countries or cities, but of treasured objects from each family. From a wooden spoon to a carved toy, a shell necklace to a family recipe book, each item tells a unique story. As the map grows, the children realize that, just like the items on the map, everyone has something meaningful to share. This inspiring story celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the universal human connection through the objects that bring us together.
