Flotsam

While we rarely feature wordless picture books, Nova’s ocean-going experience wouldn’t be complete without Flotsam. When a boy finds an old Melville that has washed ashore, he is drawn into an underwater world and meta-photographic adventure. Winner of the 2007 Caldecott, Flotsam is now a classic, cementing Weisner’s place as one of the greatest storytellers of all time.
