Discover the Magic When the Humans Leave the Room
Step inside a whimsical, hidden world where the toys come alive! Secrets from the Dollhouse is a beautifully crafted children’s picture book that follows Emma, a curious wooden doll who lives in a bustling dollhouse belonging to a young boy and girl. While the dolls can move a little when the children are away, Emma finds herself longing to break free from her tiny, predictable home. She dreams of stepping outside into the vast world to experience a true adventure—even if she isn’t quite sure what that means.
Her wish quickly turns into reality when a sudden disaster strikes the dollhouse. Thrust into the unexpected dangers of the real world, Emma must protect her infant sister, Baby, from sneaky midnight mice and the giant, ominous family cat peering through the windows. Through thrilling close calls and heartwarming twists, Emma’s grand journey leads her to discover an unlikely friend and teaches her the true meaning of courage, family, and home.
