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 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.
Lulling rhythms, interactive language, and repeating words soothe and amuse, giving readers a place to envision themselves and return to whenever they like.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Klassen has crafted three unassuming master classes in picture-book making for the youngest listeners/viewers.
—The Horn Book (starred review)
For 2- to 5-year-olds, where in simple, rhythmic words, Klassen chronicles a given setting and items you find there over the course of a day.
—The Strategist
Klassen’s inimitable blend of cozy and curious is on flagrant display in this tale of personalized forest management. . . Pure unmitigated sleepy-time pleasure.
