The Lighthouse Under the Clouds

Magical, wistful illustrations and distinctive prose help narrate the story of Kate, a lighthouse attendant who lives on a small island far out at sea. Day in and day out it rains on the cloudy island, making it perpetually dark and preventing the islanders from seeing the sun or moon. Their only light is the circling beam of the lighthouse. When Kate and her friend Tom climb above the cloud cover, they discover an expansive blue sky and golden sun. Soon, all the islanders wonder at the spectacle. Teaching children how to think creatively to solve problems, this encouraging story illustrates the rewards of working as a team to reach goals and realize dreams.
