Back to StoriesWhen the boy gets lost deep in the bush, there's no phone and no map — just the sun, a shadow, and a river. A beautiful 15-page adventure that teaches real navigation skills: how to find east using the sunrise, read shadows like a compass, and follow
The Explorer and the Compass Sun
One bright morning, the boy sets off into the bush — backpack on, ready for adventure. But when the trees grow tall and the path disappears, the question changes fast: which way is home?
With no phone and no map, the boy looks up, thinks hard, and starts using the world itself as a compass. He discovers that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, that shadows point away from the sun, and that a river flowing downhill leads to people — and people know the way home.
By the last page, standing on a hilltop as the town glows in the dusk below, the boy has done something every child deserves to feel: found his own way home.
What he learns: Cardinal directions · Reading the sun · Shadow navigation · Why rivers lead to towns · How to draw a map.
Personalised with your child's name. Ages 7–10.
