Your Forest

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 focusing 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.
