Our Treehouse is Almost Here — Our First Book from Moms Playground

We’re thrilled to announce that Our Treehouse is now heading toward publication!
This book is especially meaningful because it marks the very first release from Moms Playground—a creative initiative and supportive community built by and for mothers who are raising children while continuing to grow as artists, writers, and makers.
​
Moms Playground believes in the idea that motherhood and creativity are not in conflict—but in harmony, and this book is proof of that spirit.

Our Treehouse

Written by Emilia Zielinska-Bien | Illustrated by Myungja Anna Koh
When Johnny has a big idea to build a treehouse, his friends Jack, Sara, and new neighbor Gabriel eagerly join in.
Together, they learn that teamwork, creativity, and friendship can turn simple plans into something truly unforgettable.
This heartwarming story celebrates imagination, problem-solving, and the joy of building something—side by side.

A Story That Sparked Seventeen Watercolors

To bring this story to life, I painted 17 watercolor illustrations, each one created with care and wonder to reflect the charm, energy, and dreams of childhood.
Working with Emilia Zielinska-Bien on this project has been an incredible gift. Her writing—beautifully structured, clear, and full of heart—made it easy for me to visualize every scene.
Thanks to her rich storytelling, I found myself painting with joy, often finishing scenes faster than I expected simply because her words carried so much vivid imagery.

Our Treehouse is the first children’s book from Moms Playground—featuring 17 watercolor illustrations and a story that celebrates teamwork, creativity, and childhood dreams.

Why Treehouses?

For many children, the idea of a treehouse is more than just a structure—it’s a dream.

When kids look up at a big, old tree, they often imagine building something magical within its branches. A secret hideaway, a clubhouse, a place to dream, play, and plan adventures.

But how does that dream become reality?
​
In Our Treehouse, readers get to witness that transformation step by step.
This story doesn’t just imagine a treehouse—it builds one.
You’ll follow a group of friends as they come together with a shared vision.
They solve problems, divide responsibilities, and lean on one another’s strengths.
From sketching blueprints to finding materials, from talking with parents to working with tools, the book paints a heartwarming portrait of collaboration, perseverance, and imagination.
What makes the story even more special is how real it feels.
You can almost hear the hammering, feel the breeze in the branches, and see the joy in the children’s faces as the treehouse takes shape.
