Book overview
"Sure to spark the imagination and brimming with whimsy, this deceptively simple bedtime story makes readers an active participant in the process of constructing an entire little world." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
From the incomparable Jon Klassen, one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children
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 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.
