From Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen comes another entry in the Your Things board book series for the youngest of children.
This is your horse. It is yours to have.
Your horse is brown, but it could be other colors, too. It can do a lot of things, like run, walk, and jump. But best of all, it will keep your secrets. It will never ever tell. At the end of the day, it will sleep, your secrets held behind closed eyes, andyou can sleep, too. Jon Klassen brings his minimalist touch to a soothing story of a horse that a child can trust and befriend, one that is there for whatever the child needs. Building on the quiet but evocative world he created in Your Farm, Your Forest,and Your Island, Jon Klassen turns his focus to objects in Your Truck and now Your Horse,inviting young children to consider more things that are theirs and theirs alone, reinforcing that they have a right to things like solitude, exploration, and companionship.
