Éric Puybaret.
Cousteau's aqualung invention and camera skills allowed him to share "the inside of the sea" with the rest of the world. This biography of the French oceanographer/filmmaker/environmentalist focuses on his lifelong passion for the ocean. The fluid, lyrical text is enhanced by dreamy, mesmerizing illustrations in teal-blue and mustard-yellow tones. An author's note provides more information (although no dates are included).
