The Aquanaut | Jill Heinerth
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Written by an award-winning aquanaut and with art by a #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator, this inspiring picture book encourages readers to explore their world, build their self-esteem and imagine what they can do and become when they grow up. When I was young, the world seemed too dangerous. Everything was too hard. I was too young. Places were too far away. But that was okay because I had a big imagination . . . Through beautiful, spare text, Jill Heinerth tells her story about a girl who feels too young, too little and too far away from her dreams. But you don't need to wait to grow up. It doesn't take much to imagine all the things you can do and be. What if your bedroom were a space station? What would it be like to have flippers or tusks? In your own home you can explore new worlds and meet new friends. Jaime Kim's luminous art transports readers back and forth through time to see how Jill's imagination as a young girl laid the pathway to her accomplishments and experiences as an underwater explorer.

These are my top #AuldLangSpine picks from @JamieArc 🤩!

The top row are the books I‘m most excited for. The bottom row are titles I‘m planning to queue up as audiobooks. The middle two are choices I already own or have already placed on hold at the library.

Fun fact: I‘ve gifted Jill Heinerth‘s picture book (tagged) to more than one friend & had no idea there was an adult counterpart! I‘m psyched to “dive” in. 🏊‍♀️

JamieArc I didn‘t know Heinerth had a picture book! Ha! And I just told you that the book was worth it for the pictures 😂. 1y
JamieArc I‘m glad to see Saltus there. It‘s not one I‘ve seen much about, but it really stuck it‘s claws into me. 1y
monalyisha @JamieArc The picture book is illustrated but it does have some actual photos included in the end matter! It‘s such a simple, adventurous book — & one that I love to give to new moms of bold, brave little girls. Nonfic needs more rep on littles‘ bookshelves. 1y

monalyisha @JamieArc I‘d never heard of Saltus! It looks fab. 1y
Cinfhen Saltus is new to me too!!! 1y
BookLineNSinker I liked The World Cannot Give. It was a bit of a slow start but a good trust happens the changes the way I looked at the beginning. I'm reading The Secret History now and it is a similar narrative. It's a chunkster though! 1y

How do you *not* go overboard when you‘re a Librarian who finds out one of your best friends is having a baby girl?

Pictured: purchased books, bookplates by Phoebe Wahl, & the two of us. In photo 1, we‘re pretending that we *always* dress like goths as we head to a Rasputina show in college. Photo 2, her wearing ruffled bloomers beneath her bridesmaid dress at my wedding.

monalyisha Note: This is her second child. Her first is a sweet little boy who happens to be the smartest toddler in the world (no bias). Her li‘l fam‘s already got bazillions of board books. Perhaps it goes without saying that we were English majors together. (edited) 2y
Amiable My stepsister is due in September with a baby girl (her first child). Yesterday was her baby shower and everyone was asked to bring books to start their library. Everyone except me brought board books. I loaded her up with classics like “Anne of Green Gables” and “Island of the Blue Dolphin.” 😀 2y
monalyisha @Amiable It‘s important for her to have them when she‘s ready, right? 🤩 2y
Amiable @monalyisha My thoughts exactly! 😀 2y

A little girl remembers her dreams of being an astronaut. Who she wanted to float, discover new things, and explore new lands. As an adult she found all those things were possible underwater. This book shows the child dreaming and then opposite shows how that dream came true. It was an interesting look at how space and the deep sea are alike and unexplored.
