La costa puede ser peligrosa, sobre todo cuando las tormentas la sacuden. Por suerte, en medio del mar monta guardia un farero, un hombre excepcional que dedica su vida a salvar a los náufragos y a los perdidos. Cualquiera pensaría que está solo, pero hay quien le hace compañía cuando menos lo espera y cuando más lo necesita.
Estos encantadores versos, bellamente ilustrados, cuentan una historia de generosidad, resiliencia y amor, mostrándonos que la ayuda llega incluso en nuestros momentos más oscuros y aterradores.

The coast can be a dangerous place, especially in stormy weather. Fortunately for us, out in the middle of the sea lives the lighthouse keeper, a remarkable person who dedicates his life to saving the lost and shipwrecked. You'd think he'd be lonely out there all on his own, but he has a secret friend who visits him when he least expects and most needs it.
These enchanting, beautifully illustrated verses tell a tale of selflessness, resilience, and love, showing us that help is at hand even in our darkest, scariest moments.
