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 focusing on safe spaces, comfort, and imagination, Your Islandsignals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
