SHIPWRECK by @deirdrelaide.bsky.social & Carlos Velez Aguilera is one of my favorite NF PB of the year! It introduces readers to an incredible variety of shipwrecks though lyrical text, fascinating facts, and powerful art. Such a mysterious, adventurous, heartbreaking, intriguing, informative read!
