FLOTSAM PB – DAVID WIESNER

A highly acclaimed, wordless Caldecott Award-winning picture book from the only living three-time winner of the Caldecott Medal: David Wiesner. A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam-anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there s no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep. Beautiful child’s graphic novel… Wiesner keeps his viewpoint strictly childlike, magnifying the mundane until you see his world in a grain of sand.
