Reach for this book when your child starts asking big, abstract questions about who they are and where they fit into the world. It is the perfect tool for a child who feels small or overwhelmed by the vastness of life, or for those who simply love to organize their world through lists and drawings. Shinsuke Yoshitake uses his signature whimsical style to help children understand that identity is multi-faceted: we are defined not just by where we live, but by what we like, what we are good at, and how others see us. This quirky, philosophical guide moves through various ways of mapping one's existence, from physical geography to emotional landscapes and future possibilities. It is incredibly grounding, validating a child's curiosity while providing a structured way to think about the self. Parents will appreciate how it turns a complex existential topic into a humorous, manageable, and deeply reassuring conversation about being exactly where you are supposed to be.
