The first book in the new series of
children's early-reader chapter books. Tales
from the Mapmaker: Imagia and the Magic
Pearls is about a place called Trillow, a
world of color. This captivating story
teaches children about one of their most
powerful gifts--imagination (their pearl).
In this fun adventure, experienced
storyteller, author, and illustrator, Monroe
S Tarver, brings the most adorable creatures
to life. There are also several full-page
color illustrations in the back, which show
the true beauty of his fantasy world.
Through this series, parents and teachers
can encourage kids to use their own gift of
imagination to realize their dreams and
achieve whatever they want to be. The easy
vocabulary and sentences make it fun reading
for school-aged children. Pre-schoolers will
also enjoy it for storytime.
“A child’s imagination is much like a pearl.
At first it is small and not powerful at
all. Most children don't even realize they
have this pearl. But with parents',
teachers' and others' help, a child's pearl
can be shaped and made to become powerful
and magical.” —Monroe S Tarver
