A beloved picture book from two-time Caldecott Medal award-winner Sophie Blackall that transports readers to the seaside in timeless, nautical splendor!

Watch the days and seasons pass as the wind blows, the fog rolls in, and icebergs drift by. Outside, there is water all around. Inside, the daily life of a lighthouse keeper and his family unfolds as the keeper boils water for tea, lights the lamp's wick, and writes every detail in his logbook.

Step back in time and through the door of this iconic lighthouse into a cozy dollhouse-like interior with the extraordinary award-winning artist Sophie Blackall.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sophie Blackall is a Brooklyn-based Australian artist. She has illustrated over forty-five books for children, including the Ivy and Bean series, and has twice received the Randolph Caldecott Medal, in 2016 for Finding Winnie and in 2019 for Hello Lighthouse. She has also written and illustrated books for grown ups.

Blackall has collaborated with many notable authors, including Annie Barrows, Kate DiCamillo, Rukhsana Khan, Meg Rosoff and Judith Viorst.

Her editorial illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the New York City MTA and the MoMA Design Store. She has worked internationally with UNICEF and Save the Children as an artist and advocate for global health and literacy initiatives.

"Blackall, who elevates everything she illustrates, has a knack for using clever details to get the humor across."--Booklist

"Khan has an ideal collaborator in Sophie Blackall, whose Chinese ink-and-watercolor drawings convey exquisite detail and precise emotion. Like all the best picture books, "Big Red Lollipop" amply rewards close examination." - New York Times

"One of the best picture-book artists around, Blackall offers winsome art that is interesting in its use of perspective, perceptive in its depiction of family dynamics, and just plain adorable in its effort to make ferrets fetching. This is a book that's clever in every sense of the word: skillful, original, and witty." -Booklist

This book held the attention of a class of 2 year olds. Every page is beautiful - all the colors and textures you can possibly imagine. The story is charming and it will be on our reread regularly list. Always a new detail to find and discuss.
A great book for humans 2 to 92 years old.

This author has a beautiful art style... the kids love reading this story together and it is a sweet way to think about how life might have been for those who used to live in and keep the light brightly burning in lighthouses! We borrowed it from the library and then purchased our own copy! Such a sweet story!

The beautiful/historically accurate story combined with the incredible artwork make this book a total masterpiece. My 2 year old loves it. I love it. I usually can’t get through it without feeling a bit choked up. The story is so touching. This book has a special place in our library.

A worthy Caldecott!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2023

My granddaughter and I loved the story and the simple illustrations. It is a beautiful book by an increasingly favorite children’s author. It’s about ships and seas and a lighthouse and its keeper (and his family), who can’t relate? Highly recommended.

Bright colors, interesting images, historical fiction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was such a unique book with great details. It's not the usual size or shape, instead, it mimics the lighthouse it refers to, with its tall narrow shape. ⁠
⁠
Hello Lighthouse is the story of a lighthouse keeper and his family as they care for the lighthouse that is their home. We see several images throughout the book of cameos of the lives of the keepers, but we also see the lighthouse standing through various weather situations and challenges of nature, continuously providing light to both greet and guide travelers safely to their destination. ⁠
⁠
The illustrations add to the uniqueness of this book. Using rounded or circular shapes gives the reader feels a sense of watching the lighthouse keeper and his family through an old-fashioned spyglass. The roundness of the images echo the shape of the lighthouse and the layout of their living spaces. They also lend a sense of going around in a circle or cycle, the way the light beam of the lighthouse, or the hands of a clock, constantly spins.⁠
⁠
The author did noticeable research about lighthouse keepers in the course of writing this book. At the back, she includes information about lighthouse keepers from history and provides more information and resources if the reader wants to do some research of their own. ⁠
⁠
The inclusion of a wide variety of elements, such as ships, sea creatures, and elements of nature, along with the uniqueness of a story based on a lighthouse will add to the allure of the book. ⁠

This a real heirloom book, the story is great and depicts the changing seasons around the lighthouse and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. I brought this to read with my children ( ages 5-12) as we study lighthouses and prior to a lighthouse visit. This is my best book purchase in years and I buy a lot of books.
