Bookroo's summary

A scarecrow, with his borrowed coat and button eyes, stands watch over fields, quietly observing the world. But beneath his straw exterior lies a gentle soul who cherishes the beauty of nature. As he witnesses the changing seasons, he contemplates his place in the world. What secrets does he hold, and how might he change the way we see the world around us? Dive into a tale that reveals the unexpected depth and wisdom of a seemingly simple figure, inviting readers to explore the profound connection between life and the natural world.

From the publisher

Scarecrows. We see them perched high above gardens and fields, with borrowed coats, button eyes, and pie-pan hands that glint in the sun.
