Review

This is a stunning look at the power of compassion and resilience, as well as the need to respect nature. Maude’s fantastic translation of Mexican author Fernández Vázquez’s original Spanish text is playful, with a rhyme scheme that scans well. Villanueva Segovia’s textured illustrations are beautifully scaled, capturing the awe of the quiet yet sometimes violent activity of the oceans (…) A remarkable look at the importance of selfless acts. -Kirkus Reviews

Am I the only one reminded of Tom! Ungerer when I look at this book? This story concerns a kindly lighthouse keeper who doesn’t just light his beacon every evening, but is on the perpetual lookout for anything and anyone that needs his help. Please take note of the fishy beard. -Fuse & a School Library Journal blog by Betsy Bird

Touching upon the importance of a lighthouse keeper, this picture book is a good choice for children’s collections and for those in search of this compelling, but little-mentioned, occupation. -School Library Journal
