Me and You by Ellie Royce, illustrated by Penelope Pratley (Ford Street Publishing) HB RRP $27.95
ISBN 9781922696502
Reviewed by Kylie Buckley
Me and You is a sweet picture book for an early
childhood audience that celebrates the special bond between grandchildren and
grandparents.
The narrative is told with alternating perspectives from the grandchild and
grandparent. The young child’s voice is in blue text while the grandparent's
voice appears in black text. In the beginning, the story highlights differences
between the old and the young. Later, the book depicts many ‘me too’ moments,
highlighting the similarities between them. Despite any similarities or
differences, all their interactions show how much they love spending time
together.
The illustrations have been created using pencil and watercolour and appear as
a combination of single pages, double-page spreads as well as spot
illustrations.
Me and You may be equally enjoyed in the home or the
early years classroom.
