Praise for Mapmakers
"Chittock & Castillo use cartography as a beautiful metaphor to understanding self, surroundings, and story magic."
-David Petersen (Mouse Guard)
"Mapmakers perfectly captures that urgent breathless feeling of adventure just beyond one's gaze, and posits that rising to it can help bring about a world that is kinder, more expansive, and grounded in community. A beautifully written and rendered delight from the first page."
Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes)
“Mapmakers and the Lost Magic is a beautiful book that delivers wisdom with humor and magic. A fun, sensitive, rebellious story with characters that dream big! My favorite.”
Sophie Escabasse (Witches of Brooklyn)
"Chittock and Castillo weave a quaint tale of courage and friendship brimming with a fruitful sense of whimsy. Intriguingly good."
