EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A TREEHOUSE
by Carter HigginsIllustrated by Emily Hughes
(This week’s #ReviewsDay pick is from cottager Jamie Michalak.)
What it’s all about …
This beautifully illustrated story gives whimsical instructions on how to build a treehouse and what to do once you have.
Why I love it …
This book had me at "treehouse." But then it went and included ALL KINDS OF TREEHOUSES! Like garden treehouses and pirate ship treehouses and high-up-in-the-sky treehouses and (gasp) library treehouses!
Favorite lines ...
You can spill secrets and
whispers in a treehouse
cause the wind keeps them
snug with a rustle
which is a hush you can feel
in your bones
that's how you know it's safe.
Sample illustration …
Why will kids love it?
Kids can imagine trying out the different treehouses and choosing their favorite.
Why will grown-ups love it?
Treehouses are for everyone. Even grown-ups dream about escaping the real world and creating a space all their own. Also, some might enjoy how this book calls to mind Andrew Henry's Meadow and the art of Gyo Fujikawa.
