<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this nearly wordless picture book, a young girl spies on her new neighbor, a young boy who's building something from planks of the fence between their backyards.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Acclaimed author/illustrator Daniel Miyares returns to the sweet, nostalgic tone of his beloved illustrated book, <i>Float</i>, in this gorgeous, spare picture book about making a new friend.</b> <p/>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. <p/>Calling back to his critically-acclaimed work <i>Float</i>, Daniel Miyares wordlessly creates a beautiful story of friendship through his meaningful and warm illustrations that awaken imaginations of young readers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A gentle story of friendship and cooperation, elevated by appealing visual detail."<br> -- Lucinda Whitehurst--Booklist "April 1, 2017"<br><br>"A timeless tale about backyard fun and friendship."--Kirkus "3/1/17"<br><br>"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"<br><br>"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"<br><br>"This almost wordless picture book is reminiscent of Lynd Ward's <i>The Silver Pony</i> 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"<br>
