Birdie's Lighthouse

When her family moves to a tiny, desolate island off the coast of Maine, Birdie closely watches her father, the light-keeper, as he tends the lights. One stormy night, her father is taken ill, and only Birdie knows how to keep the lighthouse's strong beam running. Color illustrations.
