A lyrical and timeless picture book about hope, change and the passing of time.On the highest rock of a tiny island at the edge of the world stands a lighthouse. From dusk to dawn, the lighthouse beams, sending its light out to sea, guiding the ships on their way.

But change is on the horizon...With beautiful illustrations from Caldecott Medal Winner, Sophie Blackall - the artist behind New York Times bestseller, Finding Winnie."I will be surprised if a more exquisite picture book is published this year" - New York Times
