The Tattybogle Tree by Sandra Horn
Essie Cluckett is a lady-scarecrow with no one to love... until she strikes up a friendship with the tree that once was Tattybogle. But jealousy threatens their friendship when some exotic moths prefer Tattybogle's leaves to Essie's hat and her ego is hurt - then disaster strikes! And Essie must decide between vanity and friendship... An endearing, lyrical tale matched by magical illustrations from a shining new talent.
