Enhance your purchase
A beautiful picture book about hope, change and the passing of time. Winner of the Caldecott Medal 2019.
On the highest rock of a tiny island at the edge of the world stands a lighthouse. From dusk to dawn, the lighthouse beams, sending its light out to sea, guiding the ships on their way. As the seasons pass and the waves rise and fall, outside, the wind blows; inside, the lighthouse keeper writes, and the rhythms of his life unfold. But change is on the horizon...
With beautiful illustrations from Sophie Blackall - the artist behind New York Times bestseller, Finding Winnie.

Product description
Review
I will be surprised if a more exquisite picture book is published this year ... her illustrations evoke American folk art, early Renaissance painting and traditional Japanese seascapes, but in a synthesis all her own. ― New York Times
Painted with the featherlight touch that distinguishes Caldecott Medalist Blackall's work, this graceful account of a lighthouse keeper's life celebrates a lost era ... A jewel of a creation and a gift to those who dream of retreat. ― Publishers Weekly

We loved this book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 May 2019Verified Purchase
This a real heirloom book, the story is great and depicts the changing seasons around the lighthouse and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. I brought this to read with my children ( ages 5-12) as we study lighthouses and prior to a lighthouse visit. This is my best book purchase in years and I buy a lot of books.

Amazing pictures but storyline not quite believable as they are not allowed to have family there. But beautiful book

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on 11 December 2021Verified Purchase
A los adultos nos encanto la historia, pero a los niños no. Puede que este album ilustrado esté más pensado para los primeros que para los segundos, o quizás para niños más mayores. El mÃo tiene 5 años.

Purchased this book for my youngest granddaughter and right away her older sister and cousin wanted to read it too.
Seems the book was a hit with the young people.
