Join one boy's quest to build the ultimate tree house in this imaginative picture book about the good things we might be missing in our never-ending pursuit of "better."
Domino's backyard isn't enough for him, so he builds a tree house. When the tree house isn't quite enough, he builds a tree cottage, then a tree mansion, and on and on, pursuing something "more"-something that he can't put his finger on and can't quite reach. In a series of escalating feats of tree-house engineering, Domino builds and builds, until he finds himself alone on the moon, still not satisfied.
Gorgeous illustrations of a gravity-defying tree house will capture little ones' imaginations, while the satisfying conclusion will remind young readers that wanting more might cause us to miss the sweetness of what we already possess.
Dawn Patitucci is a teacher from Illinois, an aunt, a cat person, and a home improvement warrior like Domino. She hopes kids reading this book will be as bold and enterprising as Domino is-just as long as they remember to appreciate the little things along the way. She is a longtime faculty member at Moraine Valley Community College, where she teaches computer programming and database design. She is the author of the historical fiction novel The Queen's Prophet. Domino's Tree House is her first children's book.
