Product Description
Product Description
A captivating, remarkably illustrated story of patience, co-operation and wonder. Once upon a time in a dull, grey, endless place called Cementland, there lives a very special boy who wishes to find a treasure. After much searching among piles of greasy toaster ovens and wet smelly socks, he spies a box filled with specks and a wrinkled note that says, "Put these wondrous riches in the earth and enjoy." Horrified to learn that thieves are after his treasure, the boy scours the junkyard and conjures a creature to stand guard - a scarecrow-like gardener with crooked bony arms, a giant belly, a jaunty crown and preternatural wisdom: Frog Belly Rat Bone, king and protector of the specks. * A story of patience and perseverance against the odds in a harsh and unfriendly environment. * Subtle, delicate tones; fantastical figures and bursts of glowing colour leap from the pages of this enchantingly quirky book. * Timothy Basil Ering's picture book debut showcases the work of a new author/illustrator to the Walker list and a major new talent in children's books.
About the Author
Timothy Basil Ering says that the story of Frog Belly Rat Bone was inspired by a visit to the botanical gardens in Pasadena, California, where there is a private garden for urban Los Angeles schoolchildren. Illustrator of several children's books, Timothy's work has appeared in books, magazines, theatre sets and fine art galleries, though this is his first picture book. He lives in Somerville, Massachusetts.
