A lyrical ode to all the secret spaces in our world.
The world is filled with forts. Tiny worlds within this world, safe as coat pockets.
Everyone needs a room of their own. A place to hide and play, ponder and dream. Whether it’s a tree house in the backyard or a blanket fort inside, a fort is a magical place filled with imagination and wonder.
Debut author Katie Venit and celebrated illustrator Kenard Pak have crafted a lyrical celebration of the secret spaces we hold so dear. Forts encourages readers to explore the world around them to find the perfect place where they belong.
★ "A childhood essential transformed into poetic beauty." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"[Forts is] a serene offering that celebrates the impulse to carve out one's niche within the larger world." —Publishers Weekly
