Voici l'histoire fabuleuse de Ruth Krauss, créatrice bien-aimée de livres pour enfants. On lui doit des classiques tels que La graine de carotte, Un trou, c'est pour creuser et Une maison très spéciale. Ruth respectait profondément les enfants et comprenait bien les rouages de leur esprit et de leurs émotions. Elle-même n'a jamais perdu sa capacité d'émerveillement.
LE LIVRE Cet inventaire poétique décline tout ce dont on a besoin pour une cabane : d'abord, lever les yeux, puis laisser courir son imagination. Ensuite, bien choisir son arbre, rassembler son courage, s'équiper d'une poignée de clous et de quelques planches, préparer une pile d'oreillers et un duvet douillet, s'entourer d'amis intrépides...
Dans un rythme propice à la lecture à voix haute et merveilleusement illustré par des images foisonnantes, cet album dévoile des cabanes plus incroyables les unes que les autres, célébrant la créativité de l'enfance.
