Volume 1, No. 37: Maps + Iced Cardamom Rye Cookies

Greetings, book and treat people! This week I saw a pileated woodpecker in my yard! I’d never seen one before, and I got a good long look in my binocs. They are beautiful. It was exciting! This week we’re talking maps: literal maps, metaphorical maps, emotional maps. One of these books is an atlas (an incredible one!), but the other two involve more slippery mapmaking. They’re about the maps we make in our minds—the maps we make in order to understand ourselves, the world around us, our history. They’re about maps as tools, art, and stories. I love thinking about the many ways a books can become maps: maps to specific places, to people, to emotions, to a particular time period.
