Sophie Blackall, Hello Lighthouse

- Dimensions: 12" x 7.4" 

- A beautiful tribute to lighthouses and the keepers that kept them shining, Hello Lighthouse was written and illustrated by renowned author Sophie Blackall. It received the Caldecott Medal in 2019, recognizing it as the year’s most distinguished American picture book for children.

- Featuring extraordinary Chinese ink and watercolor illustrations, the book follows one keeper and his family who live “on the highest rock of a tiny island at the edge of the world.” Love, warmth, and dedication to the life-saving work of keeping the light burning are the heart of this story. Blackall invites readers inside this cozy, dollhouse-like interior, imagining the rhythms of life for these men and women bound by the sea.

- This is a new book, multiples available. It’s one of our favorite gifts to give little ones or anyone who appreciates the magic of seaside living. Sophie Blackall is also the author of Farmhouse, another of our favorites.
