Celebrating teamwork and friendship, Cool Buds: Treasure Map! is the latest in I Can Read Comics, an early reader line that familiarizes kids with the world of graphic novel storytelling and teaches visual literacy to emerging readers. Treasure Map! is a Level Three book, meaning it's a complex story for an independent reader.   Welcome to Cozy Cove, population: 4! Blue, Puff, Tip, and Sealy are four cool buds living in the Arctic.  When Tip finds a treasure map, the friends set out on an adventure to locate where X marks the spot. What will they find—gold? Jewels? A crown? It’s up to the Cool Buds to find out! A delightful little quest where half the fun is wondering what comes next and the other half is being with friends. - Booklist Barbara Lehman has illustrated many books for children, including The Red Book , which was awarded the Caldecott Honor in 2005. Born in Chicago, Barbara attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she earned a BFA in communication design. A full-time illustrator, Barbara says, “Books and art have always held the strongest attraction for me. I have always felt drawn to ‘commercial art’ because of its ability to reach many people. I like the idea of being part of the media in a meaningful and thoughtful way, especially with children as the audience.” She lives in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York.
