Blue Boat and Me

Blue Boat and Me, a children's book and a song, that take us on a fantasy filled journey where we find Erin imagining a day trip to the sea with her three teddy bears...

Children's Book

with a song to sing-a-long to

Blue Boat and Me is the first children's book Marina has published with long time friend Annie Clapham. Annie, painted the wonderfully evocative artwork for the book in her studio in Dorset.
You can read the book and listen to the song and sing-a-long. An imaginative book for the younger book lover.

Images of my notes, ideas and Erin's shaker

The scribbles from my song book, with initial words and little images I imagined might work.

What I thought Erin might wear, her denim dungarees and a tutu.

This is the shaker that Erin Rose played on the track. she was under 6 months old, I recorded the her shaking it and also her giggling and laughing, added it to the recording.
