While most of my male 5th grade classmates wanted to be race car drivers or baseball players, I wanted to be an oceanographer. I didn't fully understood what that would have meant, but I knew it would mean I would be like Jacques Cousteau -- my hero when I was 10. His specials were on tv fairly often in those years and I seemingly watched all of them. Cousteau made the sea and his work seem fun and interesting.
This week, Random House (National Geographic) delivers MY FATHER, THE CAPTAIN: My Life with Jacques Cousteau by Jean-Michel Cousteau and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Paisner.
I look forward to learning more about a childhood hero.
