To Everything -- To everything there is a season
A time to cry, a time to laugh
A time to mourn, a time to dance
The words of this timeless song, drawn from the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and made famous in the '60s by the Byrds, are beautifully illustrated here by award-winning artist Bob Barner. Barner's joyful torn-paper collages—much praised in his previous book, Dem Bones —offer a thoughtful interpretation of the song's simple yet powerful message.

Bob Barner was born in Arkansas, grew up in the midwest and now lives in Northern California. He graduated from The Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He has worked as an art therapist and an art director at several advertising agencies and design studios and has also assisted Al Capp with the writing and drawing for the popular comic strip "Li'l Abner." Barner works with pen and ink, watercolor, cut and torn paper as well as three dimensional materials.
