From the incomparable Jon Klassen, one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children

This is your sun.
It is coming up for you.

This is your tree.
It can go under the sun.

With a minimal tableau of familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, a farm and all its items—a horse and its hay, a truck, a stool, a fence—are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is a farm 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 Farm signals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
In a new series of bedtime board books for children ages 2-5, he has kept the dry humor but skipped the darkness, and the result is pure delight.
—Wall Street Journal

A simultaneously empowering and instructive bedtime tale.
—Kirkus Review (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
Jon Klassen is the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling I Want My Hat Back, which won a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor, and its companions This Is Not My Hat, which won a Caldecott Medal and a Kate Greenaway Medal, and We Found a Hat, named a Publishers Weekly Best Children’s Book of the Year. He is also the author and illustrator of The Rock from the Sky and The Skull, and the illustrator of Extra Yarn, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Triangle, Square, and Circle, all by Mac Barnett. Originally from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Jon Klassen now lives in Los Angeles.
