Abstract | David Wiesner's 2007 Caldecott Medal-winning "Flotsam" blends the events of everyday life with the surreal. As he often does in his picture books, Wiesner plays with size and scale, opening "Flotsam" with a full-page illustration of a sand crab and the enormous eye behind it before pulling back on the second page to reveal the creature's actual size and the human eye belonging to a boy holding a magnifying glass. Curious about the history behind Wiesner's wordless picture book and longing to learn more about how the story and art evolved, this article presents an interview with the author/illustrator to pursue this line of inquiry.
