There’s something about a lighthouse, isn’t there? Standing tall against the wind, steady through every storm. If you love the salty pull of the sea—and here in Perkins Cove, we certainly do—this one will feel like coming home.
From two-time Caldecott Medal winner Sophie Blackall comes a picture book that transports young 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 quietly by. Outside, there is water all around. Inside, the daily life of a lighthouse keeper and his family unfolds—boiling water for tea, lighting the lamp’s wick, and writing every small detail in the logbook.
Step through the door of this iconic lighthouse into a cozy, dollhouse-like interior, lovingly imagined in Blackall’s extraordinary award-winning illustrations. Children linger over the details. Grown-ups do too.
What we love most:
This is the kind of book made for a rainy afternoon, curled up close while the ocean hums just outside. A keepsake, really. The sort of story you’ll find yourself reading aloud long after bedtime.
Come browse a while. We think this one’s a treasure waiting to be discovered.

Blackall's exquisitely detailed art and lyrical text combine to create a quietly powerful tribute to a way of life now gone.
A gorgeous picture book that captures the loneliness and beauty of life in a lighthouse.
