Golem is a 1996 picture book written and illustrated by David Wisniewski. With illustrations made of cut-paper collages, it is Wisniewski's retelling of the Jewish folktale of the Golem, with real people, real places, and a one-page background at the end. This retelling is one of the few retellings in which the Golem has a name—it is Joseph. The book won the Caldecott Medal in 1997.
