In a quaint coastal village, nestled between lush emerald hills that rolled gently towards the horizon and a shimmering blue sea that sparkled like a million scattered jewels, lived a spirited boy named Leo. With hair tousled and wild from the winds that swept through the village and skin kissed by the sun and salt from countless days spent at the water's edge, Leo embodied the very essence of his vibrant surroundings. Every morning, as the sun awoke from its slumber, casting warm, golden rays that danced over the waves, Leo would bound out of his small, weathered cottage. His heart raced with excitement as he approached the shoreline, a place of wonder and discovery. Here, the rhythmic lapping of the waves would greet him like an old friend, whispering secrets and tales of undiscovered worlds that lay beneath the surface. He often imagined what stories the sea might tell if only it could speak—ancient shipwrecks that held treasures of the past, mystical creatures swimming in the depths, and coral kingdoms waiting to be explored. With every splash of the waves against his feet, Leo felt a profound connection to the ocean, as if it were calling to him, beckoning him to embark on adventures that few dared to dream of. Sun-drenched afternoons were spent collecting seashells, racing against the tide, and watching the clouds drift lazily by, each one sparking his imagination. His youthful curiosity propelled him to ask questions about the sea, to learn about its tides, its creatures, and its ever-changing moods. Little did he know, however, that this insatiable curiosity and longing for exploration would lead him to an extraordinary destiny—one where he would be known as the Boy Who Caught the Oceans. Leo's passion for the sea would unfold into an enchanting journey, filled with mystical encounters, beautiful friendships, and challenges that would test the very limits of his bravery and resourcefulness. As he stood on the shore, arms outstretched to the horizon, he would soon discover that the ocean held not only the mysteries of the universe but also the key to his own heart. The adventures that lay ahead would change not only his life but the lives of those around him, as he learned to harness the magic of the waters that had always beckoned him home.

29,000 bathtub toys make history. It was an accident at sea in 1992 that proved the ocean currents are connected. When a cargo ship dropped a bathtub-toy-filled container into the Pacific, the little quackers bobbed along the globe's waterways, coming to rest on beaches near and far. This fictionalized account of the event is accompanied by maps charting the toys' travel pattern, a glossary, and a summary of the highly publicized event.

The miraculous account of the man who survived alone and adrift at sea longer than anyone in recorded history. For fourteen months, Alvarenga survived constant shark attacks. He learned to catch fish with his bare hands. He built a fish net from a pair of empty plastic bottles. Taking apart the outboard motor, he fashioned a huge fishhook. Using fish vertebrae as needles, he stitched together his own clothes. Based on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and interviews with his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to health, this is an epic tale of survival.

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
