“An emotionally impactful exploration of love and loneliness, this is an essential addition to any picture book collection.” —School Library Journal (starred review)

Bestselling author Beth Ferry (Stick and Stone) and the widely acclaimed Fan Brothers (The Night Gardener) present a gorgeous and poignant picture book about two unexpected friends and the special connection they share.

This tender and affectionate story reminds us of the comforting power of friendship and the joy of helping others—a tale that will inspire and delight children for generations to come.

All the animals know not to mess with old Scarecrow. But when a small, scared crow falls from midair, Scarecrow does the strangest thing.…

He saves the tiny baby crow.

Soon a loving bond grows between the two unlikely friends. But is it strong enough to weather the changing of the seasons?

“A welcome addition to autumnal storytelling.”—Kirkus

I bought this book as a harvest type of book for my little one thats a year old. (Hes too young for this book). But I did get this after reading a review that described it as a beautifully written song/poem & that this is a must have. Well. I nearly cried it was so beautiful of a story. The illustrations were perfect too. Who cares if my kid has no real clue just yet lol I'll read it whenever. Its that good. Its worth the hype & all that. I'd gift this book too.

This is the quietest, sweetest little book! Close to tears midway through for the lonely scarecrow, only to be brought to smiles as he cares for a small crow, which opens a new world of friends for him. My grandchildren (4 and 6) were touched by the compassion and love of the scarecrow. Beautiful watercolor illustrations and beautiful story.

This book not only captivated our five year old granddaughter, but both of her grandparents, as well!
The rhyming of the lines is engaging, and along with the touching story line and illustrations, make this book a real keeper! Our granddaughter quickly noticed the changes in the scarecrow's expressions and related to his feelings, along with those of the other animals. Lovely, lovely book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mentor Text for Teaching Character Traits and Central Message/ Lesson
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for teaching central message and character traits. I read it to my first grade class as an introduction to fall and the changing of the seasons. My students fell in love with Scarecrow, who is loving, kind, helpful, selfless and patient. This book is written as a poem and we were able to feel and empathize with Scarecrow. As an educator, I enjoy books that teach empathy, kindness and love towards all creatures. When narratives make us feel empathy, it connects to humanity. I highly recommend this book to teachers and parents with children in Kinder through third grade. Although, I could see older students enjoying this book as well.
