This book had such an impact on my 6 year old - when we first ‘read’ it together he actually cried at the ending.This is a three-week Writing Root for Flotsam by David Wiesner in which children dicsover a range of ‘Flotsam’ items (either after a visit to the seaside, or that have appeared in the classroom).

Many versions are sketched and revised until the story line flows smoothly and each image works the way he wants it to.

The final photo consists of a girl, who is holding a photo of a boy, who is holding a photo of a boy, who is holding a photo of a girl, and so on.A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. As his parents tell him it was time to go, he decided to continue the chain by using the camera to take a picture of himself.
