You would think that living in a lighthouse would be boring and mundane, but “Hello Lighthouse” shows how active and enjoyable life can be on the tiny island. There is always a task that needs to be tended to or natural phenomenon to view. As the seasons pass the author draws the reader into the daily routine of the keeper. The book is a wonderful example of what living in the “olden days” would have been like.
“Hello Lighthouse” is a great children’s introduction to lighthouses. Living in landlocked Tennessee my 5-year-old granddaughter and I had a long discussion on the purpose of a lighthouse. The illustrations captivate and support the story and are delivered artistically. This is a great book regardless if you live by the sea or in the heartland. A must for your the home library.
