The Farmer And The Clown

"Accidentally ejected from a circus train, a cheerful child clown is taken in by a solemn old farmer. After washing up, the farmer is surprised to find that without makeup the little lost clown’s face is sad and scared. Wanting to cheer his ward up, the stalwart farmer finds himself entertaining the little clown, forging a heartfelt friendship in the process. But when the train returns for its passenger, the farmer is heartbroken and alone once more. Or is he? The deceptively simple art is brilliant and this wordless picture book has much to say about loneliness and love. (For ages 4 to 8)"
