my roots lie here world map blue children inspire design

I recently bought this world map (in grey) for a two recent additions in our family. Titled “My roots lie here”, the map comes with little heart stickers that can be be used to indicate a family’s origins. I love the idea – it makes such a great gift for new parents of mixed backgrounds and/or children and their families who move around a lot. The maps are available in pink, blue and grey from Children Inspire Design, the brainchild of artist, mother and social entrepreneur Rebecca Peragine. You can order them here or here.

  1. I love the idea of having a map of where the family is from or living. I like the extra touch of having a heart instead of a boring pin or dot it makes it so much more interesting.

  2. What a brilliant idea, and the perfect gift for young children with families scattered all over the world. x
