When a storm is raging, David and George are glad to be inside
the house, snug and safe. In this spectacular picture book by
Caldecott Honor recipient David Wisener, a fallen tree becomes the
threshold to the limitless voyage of the imagination, which David
and George share as only true friends--and brothers--can.
關於作者:
David Wiesner''s interest in visual storytelling dates back to
high school days when he made silent movies and drew wordless comic
books. Born and raised in Bridgewater, New Jersey, he graduated
from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration.
While a student, he created a painting nine feet long, which he now
recognizes as the genesis of Free Fall, his first book of his own
authorship, for which he was awarded a Caldecott Honor Medal in
1989. David won his first Caldecott Medal in 1992 for Tuesday, and
he has gone on to win twice more: in 2002 for The Three Pigs and in
2007 for Flotsam. He is only the second person in the award''s
history to win the Caldecott Medal three times. David and his wife,
Kim Kahng, and their two children live near Philadelphia, where he
devotes full time to illustration and she pursues her career as a
surgeon.
