The LITTLE RED LIGHTHOUSE and the Great Gray Bridge


A true story embellished and made into a wonderful picture-story.  The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge  is about a lighthouse originally built in 1880, but written in 1942.  The illustrations alone are phenomenal.  The story is just as I would imagine it.  The little lighthouse was once a great help to the boats on the river.  Years go by.  Progress, progress, progress, and the little lighthouse is out of a job.  What's worse than that, is the lighthouse has lost its purpose.  The best part about the book is how the little lighthouse finds its way back to being fulfilled.  A real life benefit is that enough people cared to save this little lighthouse.  It still exists today.
