The Centre for Research in Children’s and Young Adult Literature, School of English, is delighted to co-sponsor ‘Louder than words’, iBbY Ireland’s annual lecture, with illustrator and author David Wiesner.

David Wiesner is an American illustrator and writer of children’s books, best known for his 'silent books’. As an illustrator, his work was awarded three Caldecott medals, which recognise a year's ‘most distinguished American picture book for children’. He was one of five finalists in 2008 for the biennial, international Hans Christian Anderson Award, the highest recognition available for creators of children’s books. This is his first speaking engagement in Ireland.
