The Little Scarecrow Boy by Margaret Wise Brown, David
Diaz (Illustrator)
"Once upon a time in a cornfield there lived a scarecrow and his
scarecrow wife and their little scarecrow boy." So begins Margaret
Wise Brown's long lost treasure about a little scarecrow boy and the
lessons he learns from his scarecrow father every day of the world, until
the time he decides to test his knowledge and himself. Published here
for the first time as a picture book, The Little Scarecrow Boy is a timeless
story about the things children cherish family, home, and their place
in the world. Tender and funny, it celebrates the tradition of passing
knowledge from one generation to the next, and the exuberance that comes
with reaching one's full potential.
Known for his stunning design and
breathtaking craftsmanship, Caldecott medal recipient, David Diaz declares
an entirely new direction with The Little Scarecrow Boy. He perfectly
captures the essence of this all-but-forgotten gem of a story with
a bright palette and a remarkably fresh, childlike view of the world.
