What reviewers said
"Through the friendship of a lighthouse keeper with a whale named Blue, readers are introduced to the impact of plastic waste on the ocean and ocean life. . . . Simple text and charming watercolor illustrations gently depict the damage humans can do to the environment. While the story is simple, readers learn about the importance of caring for the ocean."
"The caring little sailor’s tale presents basic information about humans' threats to whales along with a heartfelt exhortation for young readers to join in the effort to save the oceans and the whales. . . .A gentle and tender cautionary tale."
"I Love You, Blue is a simple story to demonstrate the problem of plastics in the ocean. . . .it's remarkable how Barroux can put so much expression in 2 dots (eyes) and a line (mouth)"
