David Wiesner

Tuesday

Sarah Sammis

When I started reading David Wiesner's books the one title universally recommended was Tuesday. I have finally taken that advice to heart and read the book.

David Wiesner specializes in wordless picture books. In this one, the only word used (and it's used sparingly) is Tuesday as a reminder that all the events are taking place on a Tuesday night.

Those events involve frogs flying through the town and countryside on lily pads. The illustrations are Wiesner's usual wonderful surrealism. The pallet is rich in blues and greens befitting a night time amphibian adventures.

The book has won the 1992 Caldecott Medal. It also won two state awards: The Kentucky Bluegrass Award for K-3 in 1993 and the Young Hoosier Award for K-3 in the same year.

My parents, and my best friends/non biological brothers and sisters parents came up with the name for our bookstore from this book Tuesday books. (www.tuesdaybooks.com) So it has been a major road block of my life. I've spent almost seven years working in the store starting when I was seven (no pay, the not so great bonus of being one of the owners kids). I love our bookstore and this book helped make it all happen! Thank you David Wiesner, for creating such an inspirational book with started an inspirational point in my life! Without this book I wouldn't have one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Our store is decked out in flying frogs and pigs and it's quite a display! I love this book and you will too if you read it. It's for all ages young and old!

Frogs rise on their lily pads, float through the air, and explore the nearby houses while their inhabitants sleep.
