The story of a little red lighthouse who guides the ships on the Hudson River in New York and learns that everyone is important no matter the size.
I saw this book out of the corner of my eye at the library and without opening it remembered the story and illustrations all from the cover! I hadn't thought of this book in years. It is a great story with a great lesson and I really felt that I understood what the lighthouse was feeling. The illustrations were perfect! I loved the face on the ships and lighthouse. Humanizing the characters so the story rings true.
