Your Island

From the bestselling creator Jon Klassen, Your Island is 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 palm tree.It can go over by the sun.With a minimal tableau of familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, an island and all its items – a tent, a fire, a boat, a bird – are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is an island for a young child to have whenever they want to go there. One in a trio of board books focussing on safe spaces, comfort and imagination, Your Island signals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
