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, now in
paperback, poetic text and gorgeous paintings come together to create a
portrait of Cousteau that is as magical as it is inspiring.
