Author & Illustrators
Award-winning author David Wiesner has the incredible ability to draw the reader into a world where the strangest and most magical of events take place as if they are completely normal. On this particular Tuesday, a small group of frogs take flight from their lily pads and go on a whimsical adventure that will invite children to let their imaginations run free and complete the fantasy by deciding what unlikely events will occur next Tuesday.
A award-winning wordless picture book that is brilliant for stimulating imagination and discussion. During a school trip, a boy is whisked away to a cloud dispatch terminal in the sky. Bored with their usual form, the clouds are happy to be re-styled by the imaginative young boy, who twists and moulds the clouds into an exciting array of new shapes. Humorous and full of details to spot, this fantasy adventure is a book that will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever looked up to find shapes in the clouds floating in the sky.
This award-winning wordless picture book offers endless opportunities for discussion and creative writing. A beach-combing young boy finds a washed-up camera on the shore, and when the film is developed it reveals a fantastic new world of creatures from the ocean. Incredible illustrations that speak for themselves. Read our blog for inspiration from one talented teacher who brought a Flotsam literacy unit to life.
