Jane Yolen introduces us to the fickle scarecrow, who decides to leave his station and dance away the fall night. He leaps through the fields until he reaches the farmhouse, where he sees a small light in the window. Inside, a boy is saying his prayers, and he offers up a special prayer for the corn that will be harvested in the morning. Humbled, the scarecrow knows what he has to do: He returns to the field and watches over the corn as only he can. Masterfully told, with illustrations by award winner Bagram Ibatoulline, this book has all the makings of a new classic.
"El libro es sublime. Las ilustraciones son maravillosas por su despliegue artístico, efectos lumínicos, claros oscuros y detallismo. La historia es singular, original, llena de ternura. Ideal para niños pequeños pero sensibles. Las imágenes tienen la capacidad de trasladarnos inmediatamente a los latifundios, maizales y cielos mágicos del Scarecrow. La edición es de excelente calidad de impresión. Tamaño mediano. Tapa dura. Contracubierta papel análoga a la tapa. "
