"Treehouses are for wonder. Treehouses are for snacks. Treehouses are for whispers and snickers and echoes."

Treehouses are for everyone. This lyrical machial work of art from acclaimed picture book creators Carter Higgens and Emily Hughes celebrates the universal wonder of treehouses and all the adventure that lives among branches.

The best part about this book is the sense of wonder and excitement around building with what you have. The last page reads "Everything you need for a treehouse starts with time and looking up". It gets me in tears every time as the beautiful illustrations by Emily Hughes end with a bunch of kids on a city roof playing on their roof top. A kind and gentle reminder that we can find the wonder where ever we are, using whatever we've got.
