"Frog Belly plants the idea that with some strategy, good
communication, and goodwill, you can grow wonderful things."-- Portland
Press Herald
Once upon a time, in a gray endless place called Cementland, a boy finds
a treasure box. It's filled with tiny specks and a wrinkled note that
says, "Put these wondrous riches in the earth and enjoy." But a special
treasure requires a special guardian, so the boy conjures a creature to
protect the specks: Frog Belly Rat Bone. With subtle, delicate tones,
fantastical figures, and bursts of glowing color, the surreal artwork
and hand-lettered text of Timothy Basil Ering's picture book debut exude
all the whimsy of an inspired imagination.
