Arjun and the Treasure Map
One complete keepsake story, illustrated on every spread: Arjun finds an old crayon treasure map and sets out on the greatest expedition his backyard has ever seen. He creeps through the backyard jungle, bravely eases open the shed door on a scary noise (and meets a hedgehog family), builds a bridge that goes SPLAT and then a better one that holds, gathers his expedition team, digs up the treasure at the X, and camps out under the biggest sky full of stars. The story closes with a Cuddle-Up Corner, gentle questions to talk about together, and one tiny real-world adventure to try — the warm read-aloud that turns curiosity and courage into conversations.
“The biggest adventures — curiosity, courage, and never giving up — start right in your own backyard.”
Arjun is 6 in this story. An intrepid six-year-old in a red explorer bandana and khaki vest who turns his own backyard into wild expeditions. When you make it yours, the hero becomes your child — same name, same face, same big heart — illustrated to look just like them on every single page.
