              Bender and Canfield proved in 1991 that the generating series of maps in higher genus is a rational function of the generating series of planar maps. In this paper, we give the first bijective proof of this result. Our approach starts with the introduction of a canonical orientation that enables us to construct a bijection between $4$-valent bicolorable maps and a family of unicellular blossoming maps.
