Buck, Colt, Cash, Annie, Cora, Addie, Brit, and Cooper are well-known in the neighborhood. Together, they play and lend a hand whenever they can. They are so popular that everyone calls them the Oak Street friends. This time, they want to plan a celebration to honor their parents and some of the other residents of their neighborhood. Before they can finish organizing things, one of their closest friends suffers a tragic accident, leaving the kids with more questions than answers. They must pull together now more than ever as they face their greatest challenge yet in Oak Street Treehouse: The Day They Had A Party, written by Dick Daniels and illustrated by Mollie Bozarth.
Dick Daniels's Oak Street Treehouse: The Day They Had A Party shows youngsters dealing with the finality of death. The character development is easy to follow, making it perfect for a story aimed at younger readers. The children's inquiries regarding their friend's condition and the specifics of his illness are typical of young children going through a difficult time of loss. The story includes a brief but useful allusion to a Bible verse that helps to explain what happens after a person passes away. Even so, the children's naive reaction to their circumstances—which many older readers will find insightful—is the most endearing aspect of this story. Mollie Bozarth does beautiful work with the illustrations. Her combination of vivid colors and crisp, artistically rendered images enriches a story that sticks in the reader's mind long after they put the book down. Oak Street Treehouse is a delightful story that children will fall in love with.
