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, poetic text and gorgeous paintings come together to create a portrait of Cousteau that is as magical as it is inspiring. Praise for Manfish "Berne offers a luminous picture-book biography about Jacques Cousteau . . . . Puybaret's smooth-looking acrylic paintings extend the words' elegant simplicity and beautifully convey the sense of infinite, underwater space." — Booklist (starred review) "This moving tribute to the great nautical observer and filmmaker is shot through with an authentically childlike sense of adventure and the thrill of discovery . . . . This poetic profile of a doer and a dreamer is certain to inspire fresh interest in discovering, and in caring for, our world's wonders." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A new generation of children is introduced to the pioneering oceanographer and filmmaker. Beginning with Cousteau's childhood in France where he marveled at the sea and dreamed of breathing underwater, Berne reveals the unique mix of curiosity, ingenuity, and passion that drove Cousteau to make underwater exploration possible." — School Library Journal Review: Manfish is a lovely book. - The book is filled with absolutely gorgeous illustrations. The problem is that on a few pages the text is black on top of navy or other dark paint and it is challenging to read. I grew up watching Cousteau’s show; this is a great intro for the next generation who doesn’t know who he is. Review: Beautifully written and GORGEOUSLY illustrated! - My son and I LOVE this book. It is like handing down something precious. My dad and I watched Jacques Cousteau when I was a child and now I share that with my son who is also fascinated by the mysterious world beneath the water. 💗 I initially gave my son this book when he was 3 and he tore it apart, so I highly recommend for a slightly older child. Now at age 5 he understands the story and loves everything about the book so he treats it specially. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #823,133 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #44 in Children's Water Books (Kindle Store) #70 in Children's Exploration History #74 in Children's Science & Technology Biographies | ## Images ![Manfish: A Story of Jacques Cousteau - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zwFgUD7uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Manfish is a lovely book. *by S***R on August 10, 2025* The book is filled with absolutely gorgeous illustrations.
