The Kingston Public Library Foundation is excited to offer you the unique opportunity to own this amazing piece of art created by Kingston’s own, Timothy Basil Ering.

Tim created this whimsical piece to benefit the KPL based on his book “The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone”. Tim has been a long time supporter of the KPLF by providing us with his one of a kind art pieces in the past.

"Tim Ering’s first picture book with Candlewick had its beginnings in a silly string of words he thought up to amuse himself as he meandered to favorite fishing spots on Cape Cod. Years later, at an urban garden created by schoolchildren in Pasadena, he began sketching a scarecrow. “I knew at that moment,” he says, “that Frog Belly Rat Bone had found a home.” And so sprung up the tale of a boy who finds strange, specklike treasures, and the unforgettable creature who watches over them while they grow. With its surreal artwork full of subtle tones, bursts of color, fantastical figures, and a quirky, hand-lettered text, Tim Ering’s picture book debut exudes all the whimsy of an inspired imagination." ~ Candlewick Press

The winner will be drawn on XXXXXXXXX by Tim Ering , himself, at a special reading of "The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone" at the Adams Center. A $10 donation is suggested to attend the event.
