Meet the creators of Oak Street Treehouse!

Writing and illustrating a series of books requires teamwork. Before 2017, Dick Daniels and Mollie Bozarth had never heard of each other! Dick was looking for an illustrator. His friend, Dave, had hired Mollie years before for illustration work and thought she’d be a good fit for the Oak Street Treehouse project. Dick, being a leadership guy, is great at developing ideas and handling the business side of things. Mollie, as an artist and teacher, has worked with kids for decades and understands the publishing and design side of things. Now they’ve finished two books and are planning a third. Though they live over 1,000 miles apart, technology helps them collaborate from far away.
