A cartographer maps not just roads and rivers, but the invisible paths people walk when they think no one is watching.
Iris draws maps that no one else can see. She charts the routes children take to school, the detours old couples make through the park, the way a lonely person walks in circles around the same three blocks. When the town council asks her to draw a map of the whole town, she discovers that the most important paths are the ones that connect people to each other.

A quietly profound story about seeing what others miss, and the invisible threads that hold a community together.
Iris draws maps that no human eye has ever seen. She charts the invisible paths people walk when they think no one is watching - the routes children take through alleyways, the detours old couples make through the park, the circles of lonely people who walk the same three blocks again and again. When the town council asks her to create a map of the entire community, she discovers that the most important paths are not roads or rivers, but the invisible threads connecting one person to another. A quietly profound story about perception, connection, and the hidden geography of human kindness.
