English Description

The Self-Drawing Map follows Liam, a curious twelve-year-old who discovers an old map in his attic. The moment he blows the dust away, the map comes alive, drawing a new path across the page all by itself.

Liam gathers his friends—Emma, the clever planner; Noah, the logical thinker; and Sophia, the joyful explorer. Together they follow the mysterious map to Crescent Cove Island, where riddles replace directions and every clue requires teamwork, imagination, and courage.

The island is full of delightful surprises:
• a willow tree that “cries” when the moonlight touches it
• a crab that refuses to let them pass without hearing a joke
• parrots that demand a song before guiding them over rocky shores
• a map that constantly redraws itself—sometimes into spirals, bridges, and dancing arrows

At the heart of the island stands the Laughing Lighthouse, filled with magical jars that hold tiny stories—scenes about people who followed their questions, dreams, and sense of wonder. The friends discover that the greatest treasure is not gold, but curiosity itself, and the courage to ask new questions.

This book is also a wonderful tool for learning English through story, offering:
• simple adventure vocabulary
• emotions and action words
• fun dialogue and riddles
• repeated phrases that support English comprehension
• descriptive language that helps young readers grow confidence

A joyful, imaginative adventure that teaches children to explore, wonder, and learn English naturally through reading.
