  • Up in the tree

    Creator

    Atwood, Margaret

    Abstract

    This story about the adventures of two children who live up in a tree is vintage Atwood — playful, whimsical and wry. The perfect integration of words and pictures creates a coherent and delightful whole. The enhanced epub version, in celebration of Groundwood's 35th anniversary, includes a read-aloud feature of the story narrated by the author herself. When this charming book was first published in 1978, there was a widespread idea that it was too expensive and risky to publish a children's book in Canada.
