About the Author

David Wiesner has been awarded the Caldecott Medal three times, for Flotsam in 2007, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Tuesday in 1992. He has received the Caldecott Honor twice, for Sector 7 in 2000 and Free Fall in 1989. Free Fall is the first title he both authored and illustrated. His cover art now graces The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. Among many other accolades, David has been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

Reviews

"Wiesner offers another exceptional, wordless picture book that finds wild magic in quiet, everyday settings."
-- Booklist (starred review)

"In Wiesner's much-honored style, the paintings are cinematic, coolly restrained and deliberate...An invitation not to be resisted."

-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Wiesner's detailed watercolors make the absurd wonderfully believable...and children will surely love 'Flotsam' from start to finish."

-- New York Times Book Review, Notable Book

"The meticulous and rich detail of Wiesner's watercolors makes the fantasy involving and convincing."
-- Horn Book Magazine

"Wiesner continues to show children that things aren't always what they seem. Would the Caldecott committee consider a three-peat?"
-- BookPage

"Wiesner returns with his traditional wordless-narrative format for another fantastical outing." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
