Acclaimed author/illustrator Daniel Miyares returns to the sweet,
nostalgic tone of his beloved illustrated book, Float, in this
gorgeous, spare picture book about making a new friend.
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.
