In the autumn, the Scarecrow quits the familiar wheat field where he stood still all summer and sets out on a wandering journey. At the start of his travels, he lacks direction, but each character he meets along his way helps him to change, to become a different person. He gains the power to "become himself". This is a story of warmth but with a hint of sadness. The Scarecrow’s journey twists and turns but finally leads him to self-knowledge.

Da Wu was born in the 1990s. The fiction and essays he has produced as a writer and illustrator are scattered across magazines such as Reading Friends, Minimal Talk, and Youth Digest. The King of Trees was his first published picture book.
