A picture is worth a thousand words, and a new exhibit at the Grand Rapids Art Museum is featuring the career of one of the most highly acclaimed book illustrators in the world.

Wiesner’s earliest artistic successes are display too, as well as sketches and notebooks revealing his time-consuming creative process.
