My comments: I enjoyed reading and admiring this book three times before I closed it. It's a lovely story about a keeper, and then his family, that inhabited a lighthouse through the seasons for a number of years. And this lighthouse was on a rock, with no yard or walkway, totally surrounded by the sea! Sigh. A lovely book.
Goodreads: A new picture book that will transport readers to the seaside.
Watch the days and seasons pass as the wind blows, the fog rolls in, and icebergs drift by. Outside, there is water all around. Inside, the daily life of a lighthouse keeper and his family unfolds as the keeper boils water for tea, lights the lamp's wick, and writes every detail in his logbook.
