, one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children
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.
