Giving up his post one evening, a precocious scarecrow dances happily through land, but when he peers through the window of a nearby home and hears a little boys sincere prayers for a good harvest, the scarecrow realizes just how important his job is and dutifully returns to his place in the field. - Baker & Taylor

Jane Yolen introduces us to the fickle scarecrow, who decides to leave his station and dance away the fall night. He leaps through the fields until he reaches the farmhouse, where he sees a small light in the window. Inside, a boy is saying his prayers, and he offers up a special prayer for the corn that will be harvested in the morning. Humbled, the scarecrow knows what he has to do: He returns to the field and watches over the corn as only he can. Masterfully told, with illustrations by award winner Bagram Ibatoulline, this book has all the makings of a new classic.
