Книга: David Wiesner «Flotsam»
|
A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam-anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.

Career
He started his career as a book illustrator with Honest Andrew by Gloria Skurzynski, 1980. After co-authoring Loathsome Dragon with his wife, in 1987, he authored and illustrated Free Fall, which was awarded a 1989 Caldecott Honor Medal. This book is the first example of the predominant style of his self-authored books, which tell a fantastical, often dream-like story without words, only illustrations. He won the Caldecott Medal for three later self-authored books, Tuesday (1991), The Three Pigs (2001) and Flotsam (2007).[1] Wiesner won another Caldecott Honor award in 2000 for Sector 7.
Personal life
He was born and raised in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. In 1983 he married surgeon Kim Kahng.
