Hopefully the scarecrow [electronic resource]. Michelle Houts.
"A beautifully crafted friendship tale that’s just right for storytime." — Kirkus The perfect Fall book for kids! A poignant picture book about a scarecrow who befriends the young girl who reads to him day after day until one day he's left wondering where she is. A scarecrow stood in the garden. Tall, proud, and smiling. Every day a girl brought her favorite books to the garden and she read to him. He heard tales of courage and of hope. And when she said, "The End," the scarecrow always felt a little bit taller and braver. Year after year, she came and she read to him. Until one spring, two different hands picked him up from the garden shed and placed him in the garden. He waited, but she didn't come to read to him. With poignant words from award-winning author Michelle Houts and lush illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor winner Sara Palacios, Hopefully the Scarecrow is a tender distillation of the enduring power of friendship and a heartwarming look at the ways stories connect us. Perfect for fans of The Leaf Thief , Fletcher and the Falling Leaves , and The Scarecrow by Beth Ferry and The Fan Bros!  A great Back-to-School, Autumn, or Halloween read!  Praise for Hopefully the Scarecrow : "This is one of the BEST picture books I’ve read so far in 2023. Its writing is clever. The story is well-constructed. And, it made me feel warm and fuzzy things." - -Pat Zietlow-Miller, author of Be Kind and Wherever You Go "A simply told, emotionally satisfying picture book." — Booklist
