My Review

Short but sweet, this is a story of making friends, of creativity, and (what better way to bond?!) a treehouse! With gorgeous illustrations, and clever use of gradually introduced colour to show the life brought to the two children by their friendship, this is a simple, nostalgic story with a profound message, guaranteed to leave kids and adults alike with a smile on their faces.

Heads Up!

Daniel Miyares is also creator of 'Float' and 'Night Out'.

Publisher Review

There’s a new boy in the neighborhood, and he’s up to something very curious. His next door neighbor, a girl his age with two long braids, peeps around corners and watches as he scavenges wood from the fence between their houses, drags around a hammer and a bucket of nails, and reads a book about living in trees. When she finally works up the courage to say “hi,” she finds herself invited to help build the private getaway every child has dreamed of: a tree house. She also finds herself with a new best friend. Calling back to his critically-acclaimed work Float, Daniel Miyares wordlessly creates a beautiful story of friendship through his meaningful and warm illustrations that awaken imaginations of young readers.
