I relate to this book because growing up on a lake there was a lighthouse that me and my sister would always imagine what it would be like to live in the light house so I found this book to be interesting in the way that it could connect to my life.

This was an interesting book about a lighthouse keeper and his journeys with living in the lighthouse. I like how the book explores the life of this man but I find they book to be uninteresting.

“On the highest rock of a tiny island at the edge of the world stands a lighthouse. It is built to last forever.“

“The sea turns into a carpet of ice.“

This would be a good story to read to children for two different prompts. A teacher can read this to children and talk about different jobs people have. Or a teacher can read this to children and talk about different struggles a family encounters in their life. To expand, not all families have the same privileges. For example in the book, seeing the doctor when sick or when having a baby.

Hello Lighthouse, 2018. Caldecott Awar Winning Book. This book takes the readers back in time to what life was like as a lighthouse keeper. The man and his wife lived in a lighthouse and logged different things that happened surrounding the lighthouse. For example, the whales in the sea and the icebergs. The readers get to see the man's family expand when he and his wife have a baby.

My two friends and I took a trip to Duluth before I start grad school and another joins the youth conservation core. I‘m in love with boats and the Great Lakes (so clear!) that I‘m having a blast. So many fun maritime and boat books, time on the beach, and in the water. Found a delicious gf and vegan restaurant as well. It‘s a must to live on a coast sometime in the near future 🌊 My fav part so far is watching giant boats come and go!! 💗 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Very neat children's book about Kate Walker, the first woman to be put in charge of a lighthouse. This book is beautifully illustrated by Emily Arnold McCully.

I won‘t forget this one anytime soon. Beautiful writing, heartbreaking story. Loved it. #LitsyLoveReads
