About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is overflowing with creative energy or feeling cooped up indoors and needs a spark to ignite their imagination. It serves as a gentle bridge between the physical world and the boundless realm of 'what if' by showcasing a community where children and animals live in architectural harmony among the branches. Through rhythmic, poetic prose and intricate illustrations, Gideon Sterer explores themes of communal joy, environmental stewardship, and the magic of shared labor. While it is a fantastical journey through Sap Street and Willow Way, the heart of the story is about the beauty of belonging to a world where everyone has a role. It is a perfect choice for encouraging outdoor play and reinforcing the value of working together toward a common, wonder-filled goal.
