Your Forest

From the bestselling creator Jon Klassen, Your Forest is one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children.

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.
