Description
A colorfully illustrated biography of a little French boy who would become an internationally known oceanographer and champion of the seas.
Once upon a time in France, a baby was born under the summer sun. His parents named him Jacques. As he grew, Jacques fell in love with the sea. He dreamed of breathing beneath the waves and swimming as gracefully as a fish. In fact, he longed to become a manfish. Jacques Cousteau grew up to become a champion of the seas and one of the best-known oceanographers in the world. In this lovely biography, poetic text and gorgeous paintings come together to create a portrait of Cousteau that is as magical as it is inspiring.
Praise for Manfish
"Berne offers a luminous picture-book biography about Jacques Cousteau��.��.��. . Puybaret's smooth-looking acrylic paintings extend the words' elegant simplicity and beautifully convey the sense of infinite, underwater space." ���Booklist (starred review)
"This moving tribute to the great nautical observer and filmmaker is shot through with an authentically childlike sense of adventure and the thrill of discovery��.��.��. . This poetic profile of a doer and a dreamer is certain to inspire fresh interest in discovering, and in caring for, our world's wonders." ���Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A new generation of children is introduced to the pioneering oceanographer and filmmaker. Beginning with Cousteau's childhood in France where he marveled at the sea and dreamed of breathing underwater, Berne reveals the unique mix of curiosity, ingenuity, and passion that drove Cousteau to make underwater exploration possible." ���School Library Journal
