Discription:
A small Caribbean island. An underwater explorer turned father. Can he rediscover Bonaire
through the curious eyes of a child?Gem-clear water, warm tropical trade breezes, and graceful
sea turtles soaring through a brilliant theater of kaleidoscopic coral. It&#8217the place that avid
scuba diver and famed Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton described as &#8220aworld of
riotous, outrageous color&#8221during his visit here decades earlier. This is Bonaire, and with its
protected nearshore reef system and sweeping conservation efforts, the small Caribbean island
has earned the title it boasts on its license plates: Diver&#8217Paradise.Drawn to Bonaire in his
twenties, Andrew Jalbert transformed a passion for travel, scuba diving and the natural world into
a career as a writer and underwater photographer. But when he was unexpectedly gifted with
fatherhood at age forty-three, he faced the challenge of merging two seemingly incompatible lives.
Determined to pass on his appreciation for this tropical paradise, Andrew annually took his son to
the place he&#8217dcome to love. And over the course of their week-long excursion when the boy
was five, the doting dad found the isle&#8217magic renewed by an insatiably curious child.Told in
lyrical prose, Jalbert recounts both his early days exploring Bonaire&#8217underwater treasures
and the wonders of his kindergartner&#8217fascination. Along the way, he relates the
island&#8217natural and cultural history, illuminates the critical need for conservation, and
realizes life seen through the eyes of the young is among the greatest visions imaginable.If you
like evocative descriptions, exploration, wisdom conveyed with humor, and educational asides,
then you&#8217lladore this expertly woven travel memoir.
