«Manfish: A Story of Jacques Cousteau» is Jennifer Berne's children's biography, published by Chronicle Books in paperback (38 pages, in English).
The book tells of Jacques Cousteau's childhood in France and his fascination with water: his questions about why ships float and stones sink, and his dream of breathing underwater and swimming like a fish. With poetic text and illustrations by Éric Puybaret, it shows how that curious boy became an oceanographer and defender of the oceans.
The book was originally published in 2008; this edition is from 2015. In 2009 it won the IRA Children's and Young Adult's Book Award in the non-fiction category.
A picture book aimed at early readers and at awakening children's interest in the sea, science, and biographies of real people.
