From the author of LIVING IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS, The Lonely Lighthouse longs to be a brilliant beacon for all to see, but it needs someone to light its spark. The keeper does just that. But years later, when the lighthouse no longer needs a keeper to shine, it discovers that its real spark comes from sharing its life with the people around it.

THE LONELY LIGHTHOUSE is a 530-word historical fiction picture book that combines the lyricism and personification of THE LITTLE BLUE COTTAGE with the imagery and themes of community and connection found in THE HOUSE OF GRASS AND SKY.
