As the nameless boy is playing on the sand, an old-fashioned box camera washes up. He gets the film inside developed and discovers an exciting, unexpected undersea world. Both a 2006 New York Times Best Illustrated Book and a Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.
When a young boy discovers a camera on the beach and develops the film, he finds with his microscope many layers of pictures within the photographs.

Publisher's Note
While scouring the beach for flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore--a young science enthusiast stumbles upon an old underwater camera that contains secrets from beneath the sea.

Industry reviews
"In Wiesner's much-honored style, the paintings are cinematic, coolly restrained and deliberate, beguiling in their sibylline images and limned with symbolic allusions. An invitation not to be resisted."
 (08/01/2006)

"Masterfully altering the pace with panel sequences and full-bleed spreads, [Wiesner] fills every inch of the pages with intricate, imaginative watercolor details. New details swim into focus with every rereading of this immensely satisfying excursion."
 (07/24/2006)

"Wiesner's detailed watercolors make the absurd wonderfully believable, his graphic storytelling sense is sure and swift, and children will surely love FLOTSAM from start to finish."
 (11/12/2006)

FLOTSAM - Caldecott Medal 1st Edition SIGNED by David Wiesner!

 
Only two illustrators in the 69-year history of the Caldecott Award have earned three, and you are bidding on the book which earned David Wiesner his third (the other artist is Marcia Brown).

Flotsam is a work of genius. A story told without words which describes with humor and insight a young boy's amazing find at the beach. The illustrations are breathtaking, the story entrancing. Wiesner's creation is simply brilliant.

This is a true First Edition in brand new condition, which has been signed by David on the title page. BONUS! - A new mylar cover protects the dust jacket, and you will receive the photo of David from the booksigning shown above..

A book worthy of the finest Caldecott collection.

Caldecott & Newbery Medal:  I have many First Edition award-winners listed on ebay, including many which have been signed!  Please use the link to my ebay store (Castleskey) and click on "Caldecott Award Books" to see my complete inventory.






The winning bidder will be contacted within 24 hours of the auction's end (usually much sooner). Payment is expected within 7 days of the auction's end.

I am extremely conscious of the fact that buyers like to receive their items right away (I know I do!), so I make a point to ship immediately upon receipt of payment. Most items ship via media mail, but priority mail is available upon request.

Insurance is available upon request, and is recommended for expensive items. Seller cannot be responsible for items that have been shipped but are not received.
