Manfish: The Story of Jacques Costeau

From the very beginning little Jacques loved water- the way it felt on his hands, his face, his body." Jacques Cousteau dreamed that one day he would be able to breathe underwater. He also was fascinated by machines and by movies and cameras. As an adult, he pursued his dream, co-inventing the aqualung. He then spent most of his life filming and exploring a vast and mysterious underwater world that no one had seen before. Includes an author's note. Acrylic on linen full-color illustrations.
