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.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Alexander Z. ★★★★★

The sun and tree pair so perfectly together, and the board book pages are sturdy enough for my one-year-old to turn herself. The minimal art and calm repetition make it a soothing bedtime read, and the tiny size is ideal for her chubby hands.

Ellie ★★★★★

The board book’s pacing is perfect for a one-year-old’s attention span, and the simple sun-and-tree story has a quiet charm that holds up on the tenth read. Sturdy pages have survived some serious chewing, which is the real test in our house.

Matthew X. ★★★★★

My toddler asks for this one by name every night, and the way it gently walks from the sun to the tree feels so calm and simple for bedtime. The board pages are sturdy enough for her tiny grabbing hands, and the short lines make it perfect for a quick read before lights out.
