Book 2: The Little Scarecrow

"The Little Scarecrow" is a wonderful children's story written and illustrated by two college students, Unnur Jonsdottir and Viktoria Piechowitz. Unnur is from Iceland, Viktoria is German but both were attending college in Denmark.

One of the things I enjoyed most about working on this project was the wide diversity of the contributors. They literally came from all over the world and from so many different cultures. It's one of the things that makes Fables for Japan unique and special.
