Life at the lighthouse

Across 48 pages, the changing seaside seasons frame the routines of a lighthouse keeper and his family. Wind, fog and drifting icebergs shape the world outside, while tea-making, tending the lamp and recording events in a logbook mark the rhythms within. The picture-book setting brings together historical detail and an intimate view of daily life, with the lighthouse’s enclosed interior set against the surrounding water.

Book overview

A beloved picture book from two-time Caldecott Medal award-winner Sophie Blackall that transports readers to the seaside in timeless, nautical splendor! 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.

Step back in time and through the door of this iconic lighthouse into a cozy dollhouse-like interior with the extraordinary award-winning artist Sophie Blackall.
