North America in a child's hands
Fifty political maps of North America, showing the countries. It is the continent where political and physical geography disagree most visibly: the border between two of the largest countries on earth runs along a line of latitude for most of its length, which is to say along nothing at all. Labelling that is where a child first suspects that borders are agreements. Paper, for ages 3 to 12.
