Hello Day out April 2024
Inspired by my very real life… A whimsical kid’s-eye view of a day, filled with wonders big and small . . . which sometimes clashes with their parent’s more practical plans
Treehouse Town out 2/13/2024
"The book’s greatest strength is its vibrant, detailed illustrations that feature racially diverse children alongside a host of woodland creatures. The imaginative contraptions the children use, from trapdoors to telescopes, are particularly impressive; making marvelous use of color and light, Mylie has created a stunningly specific world.... An entertaining, immersive read." Kirkus Reviews
With playful verse by Gideon Sterer and intricately detailed illustrations by Charlie Mylie that offer something new to spot with every read, Treehouse Town celebrates teamwork, inclusion, and limitless possibility.

Out On A Limb
Available now!
"A welcome story of a child overcoming her fears in her own time, and of a close and supportive intergenerational friendship."―The Horn Book Magazine
"Mylie’s graphite art is monochromatically tinged black-and-white with bright pops of yellow that exudes a striking, sketchy look with high contrast and deep shadows. Kids who have broken a limb of their own—or faced any kind of tragedy that understandably could happen again—may want to pick this one up to be encouraged by Lulu’s story." ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Morris leaves no feeling unturned in Out on a Limb, for which Mylie has created a pigtailed protagonist whose every emotion commands her face like a newspaper headline." ―Shelf-Awareness
"The dual arcs converge slowly, suggestive of the patience Lulu must have as she heals emotionally as well as physically, and the uplifting story concludes with a moment of serendipity that encourages Lulu to overcome her fears." ―Publishers Weekly
