Join Porter Square Books and Timothy Basil Ering, illustrator of Finn Throws a Fit, for a special story hour. Finn likes peaches. Usually. But not today. Today Finn doesn't like anything. Uh-oh. Is Finn going to throw a fit? This empathetic yet hilarious picture book will speak directly to anyone who has ever had--or tried to contain--a real earth-quaking, ground-shaking, full-on tantrum. Timothy Basil Ering is the illustrator of the Newbery Medal-winning The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo, as well as the author-illustrator of The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone and Necks Out for Adventure! About Finn Throws a Fit, he says, "I am so happy that I could illustrate David Elliott's story during this time in my life, as I couldn't have a more perfect model--my own sweet son on his trip through the terrible twos. And his name just happens to be Finn! There he goes now!"
