Your Island: A stylish first board book, perfect to gift babies and toddlers aged 0-3 from Jon Klassen, bestselling creator of I Want My Hat Back
From the bestselling creator Jon Klassen, Your Island is one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children.

Praise for Your Forest: "A comforting board book about imagination and safe spaces from the legendary author of I Want My Hat Back that creates a charming forest from a handful of familiar objects." - Waterstones

"Full of the usual Klassen charm, young children will enjoy the simple and straightforward way this book is written, while adults will appreciate the deadpan humour." - The Scotsman

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 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 focussing 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.
