It's obviously a children's picture book but I think it's important. Not only does it bring it down to the level of kids with nice simple rhymes and colorful pictures, as an older reader I can appreciate some of the subtler things it does.
Little things like the traditional roles not confining either of 'Daddy' or 'Poppa' to a feminine role. Breaking away from stereotypes such as the parent that does the braiding of the little girl's hair also builds the treehouse. I appreciated the little things like that. It's sweet and quick which exactly what I needed for the Booktubeathon.
