The Not-So-Scary Scarecrow
by Amy Briody


Jack, the Scarecrow, believes he has to be scary because he's a scarecrow. Until one day he realizes that just because he is a scarecrow doesn't mean he has to act like one. Read about Jack as he makes a few unlikely friendships and realizes that being kind is exactly how he likes to be.


Author Amy Briody has always been drawn towards educational and special-needs issues, and in her professional career, she's worked as an office manager for a a national non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with Autism and their families, and later as a pre-kindergarten teacher assistant. She hold a Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis and also provides caregiver services. With two adult sons, one of whom has Autism, she has become very involved within the special-needs community, drawing inspiration from it in the creation of this book. Amy currently lives on Long Island, New York. When she's not writing or working, she enjoys spending time with her family and her dogs, walking along the boardwalk at the beach, reading, staying active , and of course, savoring early morning coffees!
