Discover a secret hideaway built from dreams and imagination in this stunning and special book that will leave readers longing for a treehouse of their own.

Sitting high in the branches of a tall tree in the forest, there is a den made from bits of wood, and rope, and Grandma's old parasol. But for one child it is much, much more – it's a castle, a pirate ship, an igloo, a plane. A place to dream.

Joyful and lyrical, This is My Treehouse observes the endless adventures our imaginations can take us on, and the sanctuary offered by a space to call our own.

With tender text from award-winning author Guillaume Gueraud, and stunning visuals from graphic novel artist Alfred, this evocative story celebrates the playful wonder of childhood.

This is My Treehouse is the tale of a young child and happy memories in the treehouse built with Grandpa. Sometimes these adventures are imaginary, featuring pirates or storms high in the sky, while others are about observing nature from a treehouse draped in snow or offering views of autumn leaves.

The beautiful illustrations were created with traditional mediums, and the bold colors capture the adventurous spirit of the book. Each page spread has a full illustration opposite a plain page with the text and a smaller drawing, which makes it very easy to read.

The story also uses a repetitive structure that can help young readers gain confidence with sight reading. The book is more about describing the wonders of imagination than following a narrative plot. Instead of a traditional beginning, middle, and end, readers can look forward to being immersed in the simple joys of childhood, and how a little imagination can make everyday experiences magical.

A great read for those who dream and play pretend, and the adults who never really stopped.
