It talks about the dream of frogs coming true. Wiesner’s message through his books - magical things are happening all around us, anything can happen anywhere, do not limit your imagination/dreams and never loose hope on your dreams becoming true(Digression: Check out Wiesner’s 1992 Caldecott Medal book TUESDAY. The placement of pictures also plays a major role in story telling in this wordless storybook. The colors are pleasing to young children making the children focus on the story without overly stimulating them.
The use of lines and the play of light are so wonderful that one can almost feel its texture. This is a wordless picture book and I REALLY noticed the pictures, the effort the author has put in to the pictures in order to convey the message and was simply astounded. For people like me, books like Flotsam are eye openers. The main things I consider while picking out a book are message and language development. I have been reading children’s books for the past three years. You are limited only by your imagination!
