Gemma Koomen opens with travelers lost at sea and the lighthouse that guides them safely home, then follows these beacons from the earliest signal fires to the powerful lamps that sweep coastlines today. Along the way there are keepers and engineers, clever lenses and stormy nights, and a tour of lighthouses around the world, all painted in her soft, richly detailed style. It reads well aloud at bedtime and holds plenty for a curious older child to pore over on their own.
