Secret Tree Fort was a wonderful book! I was able to relate to both sisters, and could understand both of their perspectives. One wants to sit beneath a tree and read (always me), but the other wants to play and use her imagination (sometimes me).

The younger sister tries to invent off-the-wall, crazy, fun additions for her tree house, but nothing makes her sister look away from her book. The ideas just keep getting bigger and bigger until the older sister has no choice but to participate. It was a lovely story about siblings and compromise.

I love this book! The story follows two sisters who are outside and one is reading while the other is looking for ideas for what to do. She uses her imagination and comes up with some amazing and funny ways to use thier tree fort to go on adventures. This book encourages kids to get outside and be creative when it comes to the way they play which is something so important to me. Also, the art in this book is beautiful and brings the imagination of a child to life in a beautiful way.

A fun story about using your imagination to play. This one inspired me to try a little harder. My preschool story time kids loved it.

SECRET TREE FORT by Brianne Farley is a charming picture book about two sisters with different ideas about how to spend an afternoon outdoors.

When siblings are told to “go outside and play,” the young girl tried to convince her sister that they should play together. When she’s ignored, the girl uses her imagination to weave an amazing story of a secret fort. Colorful illustrations bring the imaginary fort to life.

Librarians know that forts are always a popular topic. Use this sweet picture book as a read-aloud and encourage children to draw pictures of their own imaginary tree fort.
