About This Book

A lonely scarecrow stands watch over a farm through the changing seasons, longing for a friend. When a small crow lands nearby, an unlikely friendship blossoms between the two, as the scarecrow - whose job is to scare crows away - chooses kindness and companionship instead.

Why We Love This

The Fan Brothers' atmospheric, painterly illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and the tender friendship between the scarecrow and the crow is so moving it brings tears to our eyes every time.
