大卫·威斯纳，出生于美国新泽西州，毕业于罗德岛设计学院，专攻插画。从中学时代开始，他便对用图画书讲故事的方式产生了浓厚兴趣，并开始尝试拍默片和创作没有文字的漫画。他上学时绘制过长达274厘米的作品，该作被视为《梦幻大飞行》的最初灵感来源。 大卫·威斯纳热衷于无字图画书的创作领域，他认为：无字书能为图画书留下神秘；能让想象有奔驰的空间；能让读者更接近这些插画，并能随心所欲地参与其中，用自己内在的声音创作自己的故事。 作为美国顶尖插画家，也是得奖常胜军。他的作品向来广受各方瞩目，多次赢得美国凯迪克大奖评审青睐，其作品曾获得美国图书馆学会推荐童书、蓝缎带好书榜、《号角》杂志评选最佳童书、纽约市立图书馆好书100、《纽约时报》年度推荐童书、《亲子》杂志阅读魔力奖、《出版人周刊》杂志年度最佳好书、《学校图书馆》杂志年度最佳好书等奖项。 大卫·威斯纳的作品获凯迪...(展开全部)
