From the incomparable Jon Klassen, 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.
