Hello Lighthouse
On the highest rock of a tiny islandat the edge of the world stands a lighthouse.It is built to last forever. Sending its light out to sea. The fog rolls in, and the fog rolls out.The waves rise and crash. The wind blows and blows... This beautiful picture book caught my eye on the Goodreads 2018 contest, on the longlist nominated for best picture book. I love picture books, I think they are for all ages, but I also love the sea, the smell of the sea, the coast (although I don't like busy beaches) and its beautiful lighthouses. I have visited several, on the Dutch islands but also in Canada along the West and East coast, Vancouver Island. I remember, working for a maritime company, going to the lighthouse of Ameland for a newsletter report and interview with the lighthouse keeper and a photosession... Ah, the days... This picture book is sweet and full of beautiful drawings. It is oblong shaped, like a lighthouse and it tells the story of a lighthouse keeper and his small family, their daily life and how technology changes also light houses in the end. Gorgeous color drawings with small texts tell the story. I would say for all ages! Recommended for those who love light houses like I do!
