The Scarecrow Who Wanted Friends
Straw stood in the cornfield all day scaring away the very birds he wished would stay and be his friends. A gentle bedtime story about a lonely scarecrow, a cold snap, and the day his job and his wish finally became the same thing. For every little one who feels like their role keeps them from what they want.

Straws whole job was to frighten the birds. All day he waved, birds flew off. From his post, he watched them play.
He tried a slow, gentle wave instead. The birds still scattered at his painted eyes. The field fell quiet with no songs.
But he only wanted the birds to stay. Frost crept in, and the birds grew cold. They circled the cold field, searching for shelter.
This time, Straw held still and waited. A cold snap came, and birds needed shelter. One by one, they landed in his arms.
Now the birds nest in the scarecrows arms.
