When a storm is raging, David and George are glad to be inside the house, snug and safe. In this spectacular picture book by Caldecott Honor recipient David Wisener, a fallen tree becomes the threshold to the limitless voyage of the imagination, which David and George share as only true friends–and brothers–can. AUTHOR David Wiesner’s interest in visual storytelling dates back to high school days when he made silent movies and drew wordless comic books. Received the Caldecott Honor Medal for Free Fall, his first book of his own authorship, in 1989. David won his first Caldecott Medal in 1992 for Tuesday, and he has gone on to win twice more: in 2002 for The Three Pigs and in 2007 for Flotsam. He is only the second person in the award’s history to win the Caldecott Medal three times.
