The illustrations in this book were exquisite! I had seen posts where people said they cried when reading it; it didn't quite touch me that much! The transitions from season to season are so wonderfully done. I think my favorite page is the autumn spread with the close up of the scarecrow's face; you can practically feel the texture of the burlap.

Wow. I am so impressed by this little book. A very thought provoking tale told with poignant brevity.

You know, for some reason my mind immediately went to the quote ‘imagine Sisyphus happy’, although I don’t think the comparison is necessarily similar to this story, it is still what the message evoked for me. I really enjoyed this take on a scarecrow’s perspective.

What a sweet, wonderful book! The life of a scarecrow as he lives through all kinds of weather thinking long, slow, thoughts. Happiness and pure joy to share with kids.
