MAPAMUNDI Format: 280 x 320 mm Pages: 48 Hardcover Illustrator: Raquel Martín / Author: Irene Noguer
Mapamundis. Everything that can be told on a map. There’s so much more in a map than a representation of a territory. In fact they are a journey with the imagination of places that awaken our interest. The main concept of this book is trying to explain, with a fun, visual, motivated and easy way, all those things explained in a map, and how are we able to understand them in a better way, from the migration of the animals up to the flowers that you can find anywere in this world, the dresses and races and cultures. Raquel Martín is a young illustrator that its first album “Antártida, el continente de los prodigios”, published by Mosquito Books was traduced to nine languages. Irene Noguer is a journalist and documentalist editorial. This is her first book.

As if evolution could only explain the reason why the species have made it to the current times but wouldn’t look into the future. This book talks about the different parts of the body of many animals and tries to explain in an entertaining way the reason why these designs have survived fashion and have become classics. However, we have already hinted the reason: they have succeeded because they help to improve something that the animals need in order to survive, such as eating, flying, seeing, roaring, escaping, hunting, swimming, floating, sleeping‌

We selected 12 amazing jobs (the most common and attractive for children) and we have represented them, not using people, just objects and material used in this profession. The way in which the reader gets the information is original and different from the rest of the jobs books. We believe that it is a clever way to go towards a great and big topic from children’s books and give it a twist by presenting it in an up-to-now or modern language, that kids will be identify with. The book will have 3 pages at the end in which the different characters/ professionals of each job will appear in a funny game. It will also have some visual games on it, guided by the text.
