Your Forest

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 images and a gentle rhythm suited to reading aloud, this board book assembles a forest and all the things to be found there – a cabin, some rocks, a (nice) forest ghost, a stream, a bridge. This is a forest for a very young child to have whenever they want to go there. One of a trio of board books which signal a departure for Jon Klassen - and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
