I fell in love with David Wiesner when I was in college and saw Tuesday in the book store.

His work is awe-inspiring, beautiful, magical and absolutely amazing.

I've spent years pouring over his work as an adult,

and I can't wait to share it with my children and my sibling's children.

Whenever I buy pictures books for kids,

there is ALWAYS a Steven Kellogg, 

and there is ALWAYS a David Wiesner :)

His website is really great too...

I particularly enjoy his entry called "The Beginning"

His books usually have very few words in them,

but then don't need them. 

Not one bit.

Here are a few of my favorites:
