Description
In this sweet book about kindness and friendship, Crow brings strange treasures to Sebastian, who helped when Crow had a broken wing.
Through a pleasantly muted color palette with pops of vibrant color and lots of white space, we follow Sebastian and Crow as they meet, become friends, and accumulate Crow's seemingly disconnected gifts. The story follows a familiar sequence: Crow asks an interesting cast of strangers for an item, the strangers oblige, and Crow says thank you. And with each new gift, Sebastian says thank you to Crow even though he's unsure about the gifts...until he sees where Crow's imagination can take them. According to Kirkus, "Readers will be fascinated, one page after another, to watch how the gifts take shape together in the woods." A simple act of kindness seeks no reward, but what young readers find in Thank You, Crow is that sometimes what you receive in return for doing the right thing is so much more than the action you performed, sometimes beyond your wildest dreams.

Advance Praise
“This pleasant debut picture book from Minkovitz and Medina will have readers always wondering what will happen next. Medina’s style is reminiscent of Jon Klassen’s, distinguished by matte textures, spare use of color, and flat planes; it’s an excellent companion to Minkovitz’s wry, understated text…Who can’t enjoy a book that so engages the mind and expands the imagination—and in which everybody is so polite, too.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Sebastian helps a crow in distress and the crow repays him with gifts that appear to be random…but are they? Delightfully simple illustrations.” --Bank Street College of Education’s Best Children’s Books 2018, Age 5 to 9
