A delightful addition to children’s books that focus on the street as the means for exploring and understanding the city and the community, “My Street” employs colorful graphics. Children explore activities, movement and vehicles, the underworld infrastructure, street names, and buildings types. Each page and topic is tied to the experience of children and the delight they take in exploring.

The book also use common tools of mapping to show how concepts are conveyed on maps. The book is fun and engaging and can encourage children to draw and map their own street.
