Your Places: Your Island

This is your sun.
It is coming up for you.

This is your tree.
It can go under the sun.

With a minimal tableau of familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, a farm and all its items - a horse and its hay, a truck, a stool, a fence - are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is a farm for a young child to have whenever they want to go there. One in a trio of board books focusing on safe spaces, comfort, and imagination, Your Farm signals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
