This Two-Year Old is a Better Geographer than You

If you have not seen this YouTube video of Lilly, the World Map Master, you need to because it will make you cry with joy. The fact that a two-year old can find Fiji, Turkey, South Africa and scads of most other countries on the map is awesome. As we approach National Geography Awareness Week (Nov. 16-22), and GIS Day (Nov. 19) next week, take note that the geographic literacy of most elementary schoolers, not to mention adults, is abysmal. Lilly makes up for us all.
