Publisher Description
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. And so Margaret Atwood not only wrote and illustrated the book, she hand-lettered the type! The book was created in the old-fashioned way, using only two colors that mixed together to produce a surprisingly large range of tones and textures. The delightful result reminds us that technology hasn’t necessarily made things better. This facsimile edition renders intact the unique pleasures of the original.

Up in the Tree
Amazing children's book!
I did not know that Margaret Atwood had written a Children's book!
What a profound message with a friend everything is possible!
By Colette Brown
I received a message from my Dad who passed away in 1966 to continue writing Children's book. On the anniversary of his death I found a penny and the year on the penny was 1978...
And I discovered this treasure of a
book! I purchased the e-book that Margaret Atwood re published in 2012!
