📘Les océans cachent bien des mystères, des épaves, des trésors, des histoires un peu oubliées…
Parmi elles, celle du mythique Titanic continue de passionner petits et grands, mais il y en a bien d’autres, la terre compte environ trois millions d’épaves et d’après les experts seul 1% d’entre elles sont explorées
Depuis toujours, ces bateaux engloutis et leurs secrets fascinent beaucoup de monde. Leurs histoires tragiques, les objets retrouvés au fond de la mer et les découvertes sous-marines font rêver et frissonner à la fois comme le Vasa qui a coulé en 5 minutes à peine après avoir seulement parcouru 2 kilomètres,😮son épave a été remontée et trône dans un musée à Stockholm Ou l’Endurance mais aussi bien d’autres…..
Grâce à ce documentaire nous découvrons non seulement les grandes histoires de naufrages, mais aussi plein d’informations passionnantes sur les navires, les causes des naufrages, les sauvetages, le contexte historique…. Avec des pages dépliantes supplémentaires pour le Titanic
Un livre très complet, passionnant et magnifiquement illustré, qui devrait plaire à beaucoup avec un glossaire en fin de livre
👉Un gros coup de cœur pour Samy lui qui pose toujours mille questions sur ce qui s’est passé “avant”, a dévoré ce livre du début à la fin

I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that ‘Keita and the Dolphins’ as told by storyteller Ibrahima Sory Camara, in the Republic of Guinea, has been long listed for the World Illustration Awards 2025 @worldillustrationawards !
This was a special, highly collaborative, picture book project, designed to raise awareness for the critically endangered Atlantic Humpback Dolphin in West Africa! It has been an absolute privilege to illustrate it 🐬
The project was led by the Consortium for the Conservation of the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin @sousateuszii and the book is freely available for download on their website: /resources/
The project was funded by The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund @speciesconservationfund@TheAOI@DirIllustration@the_bright_agency@BrightAgencyPublishing #WIA2025 #WIA2025longlist #worldillustrationawards #childrensbookillustration #illustration #picturebooks
On #WorldAcquaticAnimalDay, we celebrate the animals that live in our oceans 🌊
Setsuko and the Song of the Sea by @fionawritesbooks and @hgray_illustrator is all about how we can keep our oceans safe for every creature living under the waves.
Fiona Barker wrote The Song of the Sea for marine biologist and illustrator, Howard Gray, so he could paint a whale and utilise his awesome skills creating underwater scenes. At the time, she also undertook the Marine Conservation Society’s challenge to go plastic-free in July 2017, which turned out to be the start of a life-changing journey.
Fiona wanted to pair the whale in the story with an inspirational human character, and she could think of none more so than the ama-san. Revered as ‘mothers of the sea’, these strong women have been diving without breathing equipment in the cold waters off the Shima Peninsula for over 2000 years.

When @hgray_illustrator was younger he was always content with a few sheets of paper and whatever else he could lay his hands upon to make his mark. Growing up, Howard was also captivated by animals and nature, a fascination probably fuelled by living in some interesting parts of the world as work took his parents from place to place.
Howard pursued Art throughout school but, after much deliberation, he decided to pursue a career in science; completing a BSc in Zoology and then a PhD in Arabian bottlenose dolphin genetics! This research took Howard to Oman where he worked with a team studying the amazing diversity of marine life in the Arabian region.
Now a doctor in genetics, Howard has returned to his dream career of becoming an illustrator. Howard’s work is predominantly digital, but invariably starts by putting pencil to paper. He works in Adobe Photoshop, for the most part, but is also comfortable in Illustrator. He loves to play around with textures and often incorporates watercolour washes or photos from his personal library.

Let Setsuko's song inspire you to protect the ocean and the amazing creatures that call it home. 🌊
Setsuko loves the sea. She swims its shallows. She dives its depths.
But she worries that her friends have chosen to abandon her way of life.
Then she meets a whale who also fears he is the last of his kind. In return for giving him hope, he gifts her a song which she uses to remind people of the beauty of the ocean.
I’m super excited to announce our multi-collaborative picturebook, “Keita and the Dolphins’! This has been a sheer delight to work on, and a brilliant cause to have been part of too!
