librarybonanza 's review for:
Hello Lighthouse
by Sophie Blackall
Age: Older preschool+
History: Early 20th century
Award Winner: 2019 Caldecott Medal
The use of salt-splashed, warm colors and the reoccurring use of circles give an atmosphere of completeness, purpose, and satisfaction. Even when the lighthouse family are replaced by 1920s technology, the story continues to provide comfort instead of distressful nostalgia. The illustrations are marvelous, obviously, but the storyline is rather captivating for young readers, written with suspense and about a historical profession not often described.
