"A simultaneously empowering and instructive bedtime tale." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 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.
Jon Klassen is the creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Want My Hat Back, which received 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 creator of the Your Places and Your Things board book series, as well as the picture books The Rock from the Sky and The Skull. He is the illustrator of How Does Santa Go Down the Chimney?, Extra Yarn, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, and the Shapes Trilogy, all by Mac Barnett. For his contributions to children’s literature, Jon Klassen is a member of the Order of Canada and was named the 2026 recipient of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. Originally from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Jon Klassen now lives in Los Angeles.
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. —The Wall Street Journal
A simultaneously empowering and instructive bedtime tale. —Kirkus Reviews (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
