Publisher's Note
So begins Margaret Wise Brown's long-lost treasure about a little scarecrow boy and the lessons he learns from his scarecrow father, 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.

Industry Reviews
"Children who don't mind the creepy contortions of the scarecrows' fiercest faces will love the repetitions of the text, while the happy oranges, reds, and yellows bring sunshine to every page. The deceptively simple story conveys a powerful and reassuring message."
