Description
The Scarecrow has always stood tall and straight, watching over the corn. Then one magical autumn night, he begins to stir. Free from his post, the scarecrow skips through the fields and leaps past the barn, dancing under the moon. But when he hears a young boy's prayer for the farm, the scarecrow comes to understand where he belongs, and what he -- only he -- can do.
From award winners Jane Yolen and Bagram Ibatoulline, this is a moving tale about questioning your place and discovering yourself.
