Children Map the World: Commemorating the International Map Year, volume 4, presents 50 maps created by children ages 5 to 15 for the 2015 International Cartographic Association map design competition, held in Brazil.

Children, parents, teachers, and map enthusiasts will delight in the work of these imaginative young cartographers.
