From the publisher
From the bestselling creator Jon Klassen, Your Forest is one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children.
"A comforting board book about imagination and safe spaces from the legendary author of I Want My Hat Back that creates a charming forest from a handful of familiar objects." - Waterstones
"Full of the usual Klassen charm, young children will enjoy the simple and straightforward way this book is written, while adults will appreciate the deadpan humour." - The Scotsman
This is your sun.
It is coming up for you.
These are your trees.
They can go over by the sun.
With a minimal tableau of familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, a forest and all its items – a cabin, some rocks, a (nice) forest ghost, a stream, a bridge – are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is a forest for a young child to have whenever they want to go there. One of a trio of board books focussing on safe spaces, comfort and imagination, Your Forest signals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
