About this ebook
Featuring beautiful images and a lyrical text with an exquisitely readable cadence, this book gives life and meaning to all the requisite elements of a treehouse, from time, timber, and rafters to ropes of twisted twine that invite visitors to sprawl out on a limb and slide back down again. For anyone who's ever wanted to escape real life and live in a nostalgic dream come true, this poignant picture book captures the universal timelessness of treehouses and celebrates all the creativity and adventure they spark.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Author Carter Higgins and illustrator Emily Hughes join forces in this lovely picture-book tribute to treehouses - how to build them, and how to use them. "Everything you need for a treehouse starts with time and looking up and imagining a home of timber and rafters in wrangled, gnarled bark." So begins Higgins' poetic narrative, which sets out everything you will need, whether physical or spiritual, to build a house in the trees. The accompanying illustrations depict a wide range of treehouses, in a wide range of settings, all beings used by a diverse range of children for a variety of fun activities...Although I did find the text of Everything You Will Need for a Treehouse engaging, in the end it was the artwork that really made this one special for me. Emily Hughes, those Wild and The Little Gardener both offer beautiful examples of picture-book illustration, creates absolutely gorgeous visual feasts here, and I found myself longing to live in a number of the treehouses she depicted. There is something magical about some of these scenes, something that captures that enchanted feeling of being in the forest. The scene with the treehouse libraries, in particular, felt almost elvish to me, as did the one with steps leading up and around the tree's trunk, to the structure above. Recommended to all young children who long for a treehouse of their own, or for some other space in which to dream and play.
