　　這是你的太陽，它正為你冉冉升起，
　　這是你的棕櫚樹，它正曬著暖洋洋的太陽。
 
　　這些是你的植物，它們能放在地上，
　　這是你的火堆，神奇、永不熄滅的火堆⋯⋯。

　　曾看過雍．卡拉森《形狀三部曲》、《帽子三部曲》、《女孩與頭骨先生》的讀者，想必對當中充滿黑色幽默、故事張力的創作風格印象深刻，卡拉森在全新硬頁書系列，以獨樹一格的極簡畫風，搭配適合朗讀的柔和韻文，勾勒出小島和小島上的各種物品：帳篷、火堆、小船、小鳥、樹木，每個物件上都有一隻眼睛望著讀者，但是當太陽下山時，這些眼睛全都會閉上，如同書末寫著：「現在你也可以進入夢鄉，並想一想你明天要在那裡做什麼。」

　　充滿奇思妙想的小故事，聚焦在空間、安全感還有想像力，讓孩子積極參與建構一個小小世界，對於渴望擁有一座島嶼的小讀者來說，這個寧靜的小故事將為他們帶來無限的樂趣：這座可愛的小島屬於孩子們，想去就能去！以太陽下山時的睡前場景收尾，為孩子創造平靜的就寢時光。

　　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 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 Island signals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
