Flotsam by David Wiesner
5.0
*5
2007 Caldecott Medal
Flotsam, told exclusively through watercolor illustrations, follows a young boy who stumbles across an underwater camera. After developing the film, the mysteries of the ocean come to life before his eyes, along with a very special picture that warrants a closer look.
With visually spectacular, stunningly realistic illustrations, underscoring a fantastical element, Flotsam is thought-provoking, beautiful, and imaginative.
