Paul O. Zelinsky is a children's book chameleon. He notes that his art is "recognized by [its] unrecocognizability," and his output exhibits delightful variety: from simple pop-up books to illustrations inspired by the high Renaissance, he has a title for every aesthetic taste (DETROIT FREE PRESS). Zelinsky has earned a Caldecott Medal and three Caldecott Honors.
