You, Me and the Big Blue Sea / Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick - London: Gullane Children's, 2002. - 27 (unpaged): colour illustrations; 21cm. - Gullane Children's Book .

You, Me and the Big Blue Sea is a beautifully illustrated story where a mother recounts to her son the sea journey they undertook in the 1860s when he was a baby. She repeatedly tells him, "but you were only a baby, you wouldn't remember." However, the narrative hints that the child might recall more than she thinks. The book combines thrilling and humorous elements, empowering children in a world often dominated by adults.
