“Any young readers who like playing outdoors or have their own special hideaway will delight in the vibrant illustrations, the playful prose, and the memories Milly makes under her beloved mulberry tree.”

The Pregnancy Centre

A story of growth, belonging, stretching out and sharing. A blend of humankind and nature and how one tree can shape a life of play, beauty, imagination and love, bringing loved ones together again and again, and mould a girl’s then young woman’s identity.

From the soft pinks and purples from the front cover to the bright lanterns and back again, this is a gentle story to spark the imagination of possible futures whilst marveling at the wonder of nature at the same time.

This story is all about growing and changing in the wonderful world around us. When Milly is just a toddler, she helps plant a mulberry tree in the garden. From a sapling, the mulberry tree grows limbs and leaves and berries until it’s giant. The silkworms change from caterpillars to cocoons to beautiful moths. From a little girl playing in the mulberry tree, Milly grows up and moves overseas, finding new kinds of beauty. However, she always carries the magic of the mulberry tree with her.

NZ Booklovers

“Vikki Conley invites us into a nostalgic and whimsical world, where young readers will connect with Milly’s nurturing love of silkworms in her childhood, and how it transforms into her love of silk fabric as an adult.”

CBCA’s Reading Time

“Children will enjoy the story of the transformation of the silkworms and perhaps, will be encouraged to explore the mini-worlds outdoors. Parents who share the story, may be reminded of their own special “hideaways” and wish to create one with their little ones. An appealing read.”
