Florida Lighthouses for Kids answers these questions and more. A lively text, rich in pictures, details the history and lore of Florida’s thirty-three lighthouses. From old Amelia Island Light to tall Ponce de Leon Inlet Light, from the battered sentinel at Key West to the sturdy brick tower at Pensacola, their stories unfold. Learn about the people who designed and built them. Meet some of the keepers who braved storms and suffered loneliness while tending their beacons. See how lighthouses operate and find out what new roles they have today as museums.
About the Author
Elinor De Wire has been researching and writing about lighthouses for more than thirty years. She is the author of many articles and books about lighthouses, including the Guide to Florida Lighthouses, Lighthouses of the South, Guardians of the Lights, and the Sentinels of the American Coast. Her popular Lighthouse Activity Book and Lighthouse Almanac grew out of a unit on lighthouses she developed and taught to fifth graders. Now retired from teaching, Ms. De Wire writes and lectures full-time and creates "Kids on the Beam," a bi-monthly column for Lighthouse Digest. She lives in Washington with her husband and her cat, Lighthouse Kitty.
