Your Rock
What's Your Rock About
With Your Rock, Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen adds a third board book to his gentle Your Things series for the youngest of children. This is your rock. It has been here for a long time, and it has never moved. It has seen a lot of things. Now it gets to see you. With the same minimalist touch brought to his beloved Your Places series, #1 New York Times best-selling creator Jon Klassen tells the comforting story of a simple object that a child can visit anytime, at the child’s command, knowing it will always be there, and that it will be curious to see them too. Well suited as a bedtime read-aloud, this quiet but evocative story offers the reader a space of their own, held out by a benevolent narrator, within which they can imagine, play, and dream. At the end of the day, the rock is ready to close its eyes and sleep, and the child can sleep too, thinking about what they will do with their rock tomorrow.
