A baby clown tumbles from a circus train into a farmer's solitary field. Reluctantly, the farmer takes him in, and together they embark on a day of surprising self-discovery. As their unlikely friendship blossoms, they uncover profound truths about themselves and life. This wordless tale, rich with whimsy and emotion, invites readers to explore the power of connection and the unexpected paths it can lead us down. What revelations will this day bring for the clown and the farmer?
From the publisher
Whimsical and touching images tell the story of an unexpected friendship and the revelations it inspires in this moving, wordless picture book from two-time Caldecott Honor medalist Marla Frazee. A baby clown is separated from his family when he accidentally bounces off their circus train and lands in a lonely farmer’s vast, empty field. The farmer reluctantly rescues the little clown, and over the course of one day together, the two of them make some surprising discoveries about themselves—and about life! Sweet, funny, and moving, this wordless picture book from a master of the form and the creator of The Boss Baby speaks volumes and will delight story lovers of all ages.
