Critics Review
“A timeless tale about backyard fun and friendship.” – Kirkus * 3/1/17 *“From the beautifully constructed spreads to the perfect pacing and satisfying conclusion, this simple story of new friendship and joint accomplishment is a pleasure.” – School Library Journal STARRED * March 2017 *“Miyares sets this sensitively crafted tale in a nostalgic past when children’s lives were less scheduled and supervised; like the tree house, it’s a good place to escape to.” – Publishers Weekly * 03/13/17 *“A gentle story of friendship and cooperation, elevated by appealing visual detail.” — Lucinda Whitehurst – Booklist * April 1, 2017 *“This almost wordless picture book is reminiscent of Lynd Ward’s The Silver Pony and some Van Allsburg titles. Delightful for its illustrations and simple story with a profound message, this is a thoughtful, adventurous story for young readers.” – School Library Connection * August/September 2017 *
