The lighthouse stands on a rock, built to last forever. The new keeper arrives, tending the light and writing in his logbook. Eventually his wife arrives and life continues while he does his job with his wife’s help.
The book is tall and thin like a lighthouse. Many of the illustrations are presented in a circle, to give the reader the perspective of a round rooms. Blackall has illustrated Hello Lighthouse so beautifully: the angry sea, the foggy night, the changing seasons, the keeper and his family. A beautiful ode to lighthouses. Includes an author’s note about life in a lighthouse.
