About the book

Martha's maps will take you on an enchanting journey through her world, starting from outer space and zooming in, map by map, to our planet, Martha's neighbourhood, and beyond.

Thank you for visiting Nursery World and making use of our archive of more than 35,000 expert features, subject guides, case studies and policy updates. Explore Martha's wonderful world in a book full of discoveries and excitement" - Andrea Reece, LoveReading4Kids Mae Martha wrth ei bodd yn tynnu llun mapiau er mwyn gwneud synnwyr o'r byd o'i chwmpas. Gan ddechrau ym mhellteroedd y gofod, mae pob map yn y llyfr yn closio'n nes ac yn nes at fyd mewnol Martha ei hun. Mae yna fap o blaned y Ddaear, map o'r ddinas, y blocdwr a'r ystafell wely lle mae Martha'n byw – a hyd yn oed map o Martha ei hun. Here we highlight a selection of amazing picture books showing girls and women being brilliant in STEM areas of life.

I mean this in the best possible way and with absolutely no disrespect to Leigh Hodgkinson. It's actually really challenging for a grown-up to convincingly make art that looks like it was created by a child. Leigh has mastered this and it's a huge part of this story's appeal. It will encourage readers to get creative and make their own maps - and their own books too. Gan gyfuno labeli ffeithiol â manylion difyr yn benodol i sefyllfa Martha ei hun, mae hwn yn llyfr sy'n cynnig dysgu heb fod yn drwm a neges bositif am freuddwydio'n fawr. Mae'r darluniau hyfryd gweadog a phatrymog yn cyd-fynd yn berffaith ag optimistiaeth a chreadigrwydd Martha. The art was just oodles of fun! I love love the style. How it feels like it was really made by a child. Playful. Colourful. Hope that makes sense. Met zoonlief (7jr - groep 3) dit boek bestudeerd. Leerzaam om eerst vanuit de ruimte een kaart (map) te bekijken en daarna per bladzijde steeds verder in te zoomen naar land, straat, huis, etc. totdat we uiteindelijk in het hoofd van Katy (Nederlandse versie) terecht kwamen. Herkenbare zaken zijn op de kaarten te vinden, maar ook nieuwe dingen tegengekomen. Waarbij zoonlief zich elke keer afvroeg of wij dat ook in de buurt/huis hebben.

None of the main characters are white and Martha's friends and neighbours are of a variety of different ethnicities while people in wheelchairs are represented too. Leigh Hodgkinson has written and illustrated picture books for Orchard, Bloomsbury, Nosy Crow, and Simon and Schuster. She has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize twice, and longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal four times.

Finally I had the chance to read this one! I had my eyes on it for a while, then one of my libraries got in their collection… but apparently it went missing as it is still not on any shelves, and then I just decided to get it in English. XD
