As a contemporary picture book creator living today, David Wiesner is the most awarded artist in the history of Caldecott Awards.

David 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 soon discovered that picture books were the perfect vehicle for his work.

Come and hear David share his personal story about what inspires him, and he’ll be sure to inspire both parents and children to embrace the power of imagination!
