★ A New York Times / New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2025 "A remarkable look at the importance of selfless acts."―Kirkus ReviewsThe coast can be a dange rous place, especially in stormy weather. Fortunately for us, out in the middle of the sea lives the lighthouse keeper, a remarkable person who dedicates his life to saving the lost and shipwrecked. You'd think he'd be lonely out there all on his own, but he has a secret friend who visits him when he least expects and most needs it. These enchanting, beautifully illustrated verses tell a tale of selflessness, resilience, and love, showing us that help is at hand even in our darkest, scariest moments. Show more
