David wiesner wordless books

“The Mazza Medallion is an award for using different styles and media, and it was truly made for you.” “Thank you for allowing and enabling us, people of all ages, to put their own words to your illustrations,” said Museum Director Ben Sapp to Wiesner after he accepted the award. The 11th recipient of the award presented by the Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay, Wiesner is known for his wordless picture books that still tell such a detailed narrative. How can I tell this story? In what interesting way can I present it to the reader? These are the questions author/illustrator David Wiesner, who accepted the Mazza Medallion at the Mazza Winter Conference this November, asks himself as he begins a new project.
