"Explores the life of one lighthouse as it beams its message out to sea through shifting seasons, changeable weather, and the tenure of its final keeper."-- Provided by publisher.

On the highest rock of a tiny island at the edge of the world stands a lighthouse. From dusk to dawn, the lighthouse beams. Hello! ...Hello! ...Hello! Sending its light out to sea, guiding the ships on their way. Outside, the wind blows, the fog rolls in, and icebergs drift by. Inside, a keeper writes, a surprise arrives, and change is on the horizon... From celebrated Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall, here is a luminous tribute to a steadfast lighthouse and its reassuring light. -- From dust jacket.
