The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge
What's This Book About
On the Manhattan bank of the Hudson River, a small lighthouse–made of steel and painted bright red–proudly protects boats with his faithful beam. One day a great expanse of gray steel, which also shines a bright light into the fog and darkness, is built over it. The little red lighthouse feels insignificant and useless in comparison but soon learns that . . . small can be mighty! A portion of the sales from this book will be donated to the Jeffrey’s Hook Lighthouse education and outreach programs.
