Scarecrow & Forget-Me-Not

A lonely scarecrow stands in a wheat field. A plant growing at his feet suddenly bursts into blue flowers, and out steps a beautiful little fairy girl. A wonderful friendship full of joy and laughter develops. But the flower girl disappears as the plant shrivels up in late autumn, and all alone, the scarecrow is buffeted by icy winds and snow while waiting for his friend to return in spring. Can their friendship survive the harsh reality of winter? Or would it become a figment of forgotten memory?

Scarecrow & Forget-Me-Not is a heart-warming story about friendship and love. No time or distance can come between two best friends! The story is innately embedded in a natural setting, and it is told in language resonating with rhymes that will delight readers of all ages. It certainly is a heart-touching story for children, and with a lot of fun as well.
