The new children’s book aims to capture that magic. The story unfolds as a father builds a playhouse for his daughter and then watches as a girl journeys through life’s milestones, all within the comforting shadow of her beloved playhouse.
The book was written by Stephen’s daughter, Alyssa Davis, for whom the first Lilliput Play Home was made 30 years ago.
“My playhouse has been part of many memories for me growing up, and even as an adult. Whenever I see it, I’m reminded of my parents’ love and the whimsy of childhood,” Davis said. “I wrote this as a way to thank my parents, and also included a surprise twist to let them know that they were going to be grandparents. The playhouse’s magic will be extending into the next generation.”
