Synopsis

From acclaimed author Shauntay Grant and Caldecott Honor-winning artist Daniel Minter comes a stunning picture book in which a young girl dives to uncover a sunken slave ship. Expressive verse and beautiful artwork serve as a tribute to both heritage and history, while shining a light on the real divers who explore these shipwrecks.

* To convey the feeling of descending to the depths of the ocean, this book is meant to be read vertically *

A past

that’s passed from me

to you:

 

the dearest,

darkest,

deepest blue.
