The coast can be a dangerous place, especially in stormy weather. Fortunately for us, out in the middle of the sea lives the lighthouse keeper, a remarkable person who dedicates his life to saving the lost and shipwrecked. You'd think he'd be lonely out there all on his own, but he has a secret friend who visits him when he least expects and most needs it.

These enchanting, beautifully illustrated verses tell a tale of selflessness, resilience, and love, showing us that help is at hand even in our darkest, scariest moments.

The Lighthouse Keeper feels like a modern folklore story. The illustrations are whimsical and, at times, a bit eerie. The accompanying text gives the virtues of the lighthouse keeper in rescuing people and the special relationship to the moon. It is listed as a Middle-Grade audience, but aside from one creepy illustration that depicts souls and ships lost in a whirlpool, nothing else seems to warrant the need for an older audience. Overall, the illustrations and wording feel like mythology and come together to create a quirky story.
