Preston, Tim - The Lonely Scarecrow (Paperback)

In The Lonely Scarecrow, a figure made of straw and cloth stands day after day in a wheat field, watching the animals pass without a glance. His face may scare, but his heart is gentle. Across the seasons, he yearns for company—but none will come. Then winter blankets the land, and under soft snow his silhouette transforms. Suddenly, the animals return, discovering that the scarecrow they feared may be the same friend they always needed.

This tender, evocative picture book captures themes of loneliness, transformation, and acceptance. Children will connect with the scarecrow’s hope as the world changes around him, and find warmth in knowing that friendship can blossom in the most unexpected ways. The crisp imagery and seasonal pacing make it a favorite for autumn, winter, and holiday displays.
