A story about facing your fears and finding your strengths by talented debut author/illustrator Chloe Jasmine Harris, whose work can be seen on Monsters Threads products and on Instagram, where she has amassed nearly 14K followers.
Maple lives in a tree house in the woods. She’s scared of most things, especially the animals who live below. But one day, when she bravely steps out of her comfort zone, she finds that the animals are really quite kind. With their help, she awakens a sense of bravery she never knew she had.
This is a gentle, Jungle Book-like adventure, where our doll-like heroine ultimately returns to her tree house stronger, more confident, and with a whole forest of friends.
