My Mummies Built a Treehouse

Evans's energetic digital illustrations bring wonder and humor to the narrative by highlighting elements not specifically mentioned in the text, like the family cat getting into mischief and animal families thriving alongside yet just out of sight of the main characters. The family works in tandem while using their individual strengths to achieve the child's goal in this heartwarming story.

• Kirkus Reviews

“This is a charming story told in simple rhyme about the need to have big dreams and to have adults who believe in you enough to help make your special big dream come true. The book has been lavishly and sensitively illustrated by Izzy Evans, an artist who draws inspiration from nature, mythology, and the multicultural history of their city. The colourful drawings fill the pages and give the verses a life and substance that draws the reader into a magic world.”
