NICK’S PICK

There are three boardbooks in this new andtotally lovely Klassen series.
His minimal illustration style just feels right . . . and full of warmth. I loved spending time with these characters and couldn’t wait to wake up to see them all again the next morning. -NR

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 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 itemsa tent, a fire, a boat, a birdare 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 focusing 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.
