When a boy finds a camera washed up on the shore, he develops the pictures and discovers an amazing underwater world, as well as children from other parts of the world who have seen it, too. “Flotsam is a wordless book. Author and illustrator David Wiesner conveys the story with gorgeous, incredibly detailed paintings and leaves his reader to do the rest, so that reading the book becomes a very interactive experience,” publicist Jenny Groves of Clarion Books told TDmonthly. The book received the 2007 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award. Launch date: September 4, 2006.
