Maps for Curious Minds is Gordon Kerr’s series of illustrated map books that turn data and stories into visual form. Starting with Brilliant Maps for Curious Minds in 2019, the series has expanded to include North American, wild/nature, and 1960s-themed editions.

Each book is organized around thematic maps rather than traditional geographic ones, making them as much about storytelling as about places on a page.
