Your Forest

Age

Early Elementary

Book

Nature, Animals

From Caldecott Winning author Jon Klassen comes one of a trio of board books for 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. This one of the trio of books focuses 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.
