At the time, no technology existed that could allow him to truly explore this idea, although in titles such as <em>Flotsam<\/em> and <em>The Three Pigs<\/em> he pushed the boundaries of linear storytelling on the printed page.<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">When the iPad was introduced, David realized it offered the technology necessary for this forty-year-old idea to come to fruition. From that came Spot, an ideal combination of David&#8217;s beautiful artwork and relentlessly inventive imagination. Through Spot, David has brought to life a universe that allows other dreamers, imaginers, and storytellers to create endlessly varied tales every time they open the app.<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">Download the <em>David Wiesner&#8217;s Spot: A Parent &amp; Educator Guide<\/em> for an extended behind-the-scenes look at David Wiesner&#8217;s Spot!<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/david-wiesners-spot-parent\/id962458409?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-211 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/bitu.com\/spot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Download_on_iBooks_Badge_US-UK_110x40_090513.png\" alt=\"Download_on_iBooks_Badge_US-UK_110x40_090513\" width=\"110\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spot Story &#8220;The blinding flash of inspiration came while I was killing time in an Apple store in Chicago.
