Media Reviews

I will be surprised if a more exquisite picture book is published this year ... her illustrations evoke American folk art, early Renaissance painting and traditional Japanese seascapes, but in a synthesis all her own. * New York Times *
Painted with the featherlight touch that distinguishes Caldecott Medalist Blackall's work, this graceful account of a lighthouse keeper's life celebrates a lost era ... A jewel of a creation and a gift to those who dream of retreat. * Publishers Weekly *
