FLOTSAM by David Wiesner
PAPERBACK
Author & Illustrator: David Wiesner
Mesmerising, imaginative, and utterly unforgettable, FLOTSAM is a breathtaking wordless picture book that invites readers to dive into a world of curiosity, discovery, and wonder.
A quiet, science-minded boy arrives at the beach with his tools ready, eager to examine whatever the tide has washed ashore. Bottles, shells, and forgotten objects are familiar finds - until he discovers something extraordinary: an old underwater camera, crusted with barnacles and mystery.
When the boy develops the film, he uncovers astonishing images of a hidden underwater world - mechanical fish, fantastical sea creatures, and a remarkable chain of children from different places and times, all connected by the same magical discovery. With no words to guide them, readers are encouraged to look closely, think deeply, and let their imagination roam free.
Created by David Wiesner, Flotsam is an award–winning masterpiece that proves pictures alone can tell stories as rich and complex as any written tale.
