Now I See Spring | Your Truck | Jon Klassen 
Colorful neon sign with yellow, red, green, blue, and orange elements advertising summer and beer, with a parrot and toucan imagery.

Jon Klassen is masterful as a children’s book designer and illustrator. He has published several books, first being I Want My Hat Back, which gained him high praise and set his career into motion.

Lately, Jon has been publishing what I consider the most deceptively difficult category of kid’s books—board books. These books are for 3 year-olds and younger. They are also printed on board so they can be chewed without completely destroying them. You might think that making a book for a 3 year-old is easier than, say a 9 year-old, because they are new to this world and have low expectations. This is precisely why they are so difficult.
