Caldecott Medalist Wiesner once again presents an offbeat premise and unconventional artwork to tempt youngsters into his deliciously skewed landscapes. Many versions are sketched and revised until the story line flows smoothly and each image works the way he wants it to. Wiesner generally spends several years creating each new book. He soon discovered that picture books were the perfect vehicle for his work. Wiesner grew up in suburban New Jersey, known to his classmates as 'the kid who could draw.' He went on to become a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he was able to commit himself to the full-time study of art and to explore further his passion for visual storytelling. He has also received two Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall and Sector 7. Three of the picture books he both wrote and illustrated became instant classics when they won the prestigious Caldecott Medal: Tuesday in 1992, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Flotsam in 2007, making him only the second person in the award's long history to have won three times.

His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages and have won numerous awards in the United States and abroad. Little, Brown and Company Books for Young Readersĭavid Wiesner is one of the best-loved and most highly acclaimed picture book creators in the world.
