Descripción editorial
This heartfelt and beautifully illustrated picture book follows the special friendship between a scarecrow and a snowman throughout the seasons.
Being a scarecrow can be lonely. Spending his day keeping birds away doesn’t leave Crow with many options for friends. Then one snowy day, the children on the farm build a snowman. Crow and Snow are fast friends and winter passes happily in each other’s company. Then Snow goes away. Crow misses his friend and thinks of Snow during the warm seasons until they can be reunited again. Being apart can be hard, but the very truest of friends never lose each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Crow, a hat-wearing scarecrow with Charlie Brown esque features and a red plaid shirt, enjoys the seasonal companionship of a snowman named Snow in this sweetly patient picture book. Built one spring, Crow stands alone in the farmer's field season after season not even the red tractor returns his greetings. But each winter, the farmer's children build him a comrade: a hill-shaped, carrot-nosed snowman named Snow. Despite slowly warming to one another, the duo must part ways once the snowman melts. Luckily, Snow is rebuilt the next winter, looking "a bit different" but retaining his character. The pattern repeats until the season when the farmer's children have outgrown making snowmen the same winter that Crow wishes to impart a heartfelt message, one that has to wait until another generation comes out to play. Tallec's warm illustrations, done in bright acrylic and pencils, add lightness to this unconventional love story between unlikely figures. Ages 4 8.
