Illustrated by
Emily Hughes.
This story about building a treehouse is an adventure in imagination, with appealing, whimsical illustrations showing a multicultural cast of kid-builders. The text may puzzle some young readers and listeners with its layers of narration and overly poetical language. Still, the fantastical structures in Hughes's art, hand-drawn in graphite and with Photoshop, are awe-inspiring.
