“Sarah Sheppard manages to combine the pedagogical with the imaginative in an exemplary way. It is fascinating and a delight for both the eyes and mind to see an illustrator and graphic designer who puts all her artistic strength into meeting children at their own level. The personal style with clear and bright colors lead to immediate recognition. In Important Maps for Daydreamers and Adventurers, the reader is taken on a journey across the globe with the help of a map of the world. Facts and details for the curious mind are presented in a zestful and fun way. The structure is very inviting for kids to explore the book and you flip through it like a calendar; innovative and practical when the whole world needs to fit on one spread. Sarah Sheppard makes us want to explore more and creates both curiosity and a desire to learn more about the world.”

“Geography that will have you wanting more. /…/ In Dino Deluxe, Sarah Sheppard showed that it’s possible to make a book about the giant prehistoric animals without being either boring or too shallow – the latter being something that the commercial dino genre is particularly prone to. Also here [in Important Maps for Daydreamers and Adventurers] the Swedish author’s illustrations and cleverly articulated informal language alleviate the encyclopedia feel, giving [the book] just the right amount of humor.”
