Imagine you are a bird flying high in the sky! When you look down at a map, you see many beautiful colors. Most maps use the color green for land and the color blue for water. Looking at a map is like looking at a colorful puzzle of our amazing world.
On a map, you can find different shapes for land and water. A very big piece of land is called a continent, and a small piece of land with water all around it is an island. You might also see wiggly blue lines, which are rivers that flow into the sea. Maps help us find our way and show us where all the land and water are.
