Welcome to Litsy!

Although I enjoyed this book I don‘t know if it would make a great real aloud for my specific class. It has themes of solitude and the passing of time, and I feel some kids would love this but others may find it boring. Overall it was a good book but wouldn‘t be a great real aloud for some classes.

Very nice illustrations. The lighthouse will always be there to shine light on the ocean even when the keepers job is done

“The keepers work is done.” The keeper has been protecting ships. Now he can protect his family now he is done with his job

“His wife is everywhere all at once, running up and down spiral stairs.”
